I just want to add one thing into the mix. I also got a razor from classic shaving. All of their razors are sharpened by Lynn Abrams. But, one thing that can be very detrimental and was a problem for me was the strop. Two things, is the trop of good quality? Are you stropping properly? A nicely honed razor can loose its edge if it is stropped wrong and that may be one of the first things that I looked at.
