Hi guys!

Very frustrated and not sure where to pay attention to right now.

I sent my ebay special off to be honed, got it back last week and tried my first shave after stropping it, didn't get very far as 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.

found some time to have another go today, stropped it somewhere between 40-60 passes, did feel a little better but not much.

where am i going wrong?
