I have a shave ready straight that I received from Kenrup. I finally got around to using it for the first time this morning after practicing stripping etc on a throw away razor.
Problem is, it pulled like crazy. It did cut whiskers but with a lot of pulling. Couldn't even shave my chin (where my beard grows thickest). I have excellent beard prep because I've been a DE shaver for years. I figure I must have messed the edge up just enough with stropping to give me this morning's trouble. I have Kenrup's Filly strop with CrOx paste on one side. Also the razor has no blunting, etc and still passes the HHT no problem so it can't be that bad yet.
My question is, can I get the shave ready edge back with laps on the CrOx if I work on my technique more.

Thanks for the help!
