if this is the case then pay attention to the preparation. This is not over honing sign.

Cold water !! Try it , you'll like it .... or you won't .... but give it a try.

haha ok guys,
thanks a lot for the replies;
greatly appreciated !

owkay so I just wanted to get back to ya,
I did a little backhoning followed by some regular honing, good stropping and I gotta say that my edge actually feels much better, much smoother; I didn't do many laps at all either on my hones.
I did let my whiskers soak in some cold water first as sort of a prep and my shave was very smooth, was much better and very comfortable, only pulled a tiny bit on my chin, but overall very smooth shaving, no irritation, very close shave. Thx for helping me out!
