Thanks to all for the comments. I have thumb nail checked the blade, it is very, very smooth.

I believe I have found a very sharp razor, sharper than any others I have shaved with. Between that and being new to straight shaving, I feel it is a pressure issue. As mentioned I was able to shave my neck, chin, above mustache and other hard areas without getting blood.

I am very excited about this new found sharp razor. It will be another learning experience and higher standard of expertise. My crude shaving habits will have to improve or I will bleed to death.

Thanks again.
