I know this says that Ive been on for awhile, however I dont have any real experience with a "real" straight. This is what I have as of now.

6/8 Le Grolet
5/8 Vintage Restoration from Bill Ellis
DTM 8k
1200 Grit No-Name Japanese Water Hone
3" Red Latigo from Tony Miller

Both the razors were shave ready when I got them. The 6/8 was honed up by Joel on B&B as part of the LE group buy. However, I cant get a shave out of either of them. So, they have sat for months in my cabinet while I have used my feather AC and DE's. I need some help. Id like it if one of the senior members here can tell me what is going on by looking at my razors. I THINK Ive rolled the edges with really bad stropping technique. Help!
