Most likely overhoned blade
it felt more like it was pulling the hair out rather than cutting it so strokes were very very short as i was never sure if the pain was hair coming out or face being cut into, needless to say i gave up.
never do this
found some time to have another go today, stropped it somewhere between 40-60 passes, did feel a little better but not much.
Need to be rehoned
where am i going wrong?

all above i said because you do have a good blade.It is not crappy pakistany or some cheap blade.
Now i think your blade honed someone which is very good honer(takes responsibility) .why i think so . Not easy to overhone the blade.takes time.
That person tried make perfect work that is why it happen.
Try to contact person and resolve the issue. SRP is a nice community i am sure you will get help. if you still have problem pm me.GL.
