I got my razor today too and tried shaving with it. I got it from SRD, and it's definitely sharp as hell, but when I stropped I'm pretty sure I messed up a couple times and nicked the strop, it also has a couple of faded lines that looks like I took something dull and grazed over it. I tried shaving with and it felt like it was tugging at my face more than just gliding/slicing through, but I'm not sure if my technique just sucked or what. I definitely nicked my face maybe 2-3 times during my first shave, and couldn't get through my entire face before I had to bust out the old safety razor.
