Lynn might have honed the razor at one time, but you don't know what was done with it in the iterim (Look! It's so sharp I can prune the hedges!). Not having a shave-ready edge may not be visually apparent...you have to shave with it (a Catch-22, I know...)...get it back to a honemeister (someone posted a link for Lynn) and then start again. Watch the vids, make sure you face is properly prep'd (hot water or hot towel, pre-shave oil if you want, good, hot lather), and go slow.
