    It's most likely stropping technique at the moment. I'd say it was very likely shave ready when you received it, & the most likely culprit since then would be stropping. There's a lot to learn in the first few weeks, & proper stropping is one of them.

    Have a look at this page & see if it helps. Razor stropping - Straight Razor Place Wiki. It's possible you can get it back with improved technique. If not, you'll have to get it honed.
