Hello All

My wife recently purchased a Dovo 5/8" straight razor for me as a gift with all of the accessories included. The razor was purchased through classicshaving.com and claimed to be professionally honed which to me means sharp enough to comfortably shave with. As I proceeded to shave with the razor, there was a lot of pulling and tugging on my facial hairs (very uncomfortable). The angle I was using for the razor seemed to be right (30 degreeish) but I could be wrong (about two spines away from my face). The one thing that I did was to pluck a hair from my head and press the razor against it. Nothing happened. The amount of force I had to use to cut that piece of hair seemed to be more than necessary. I feel like the razor is not sharp enough to shave with and would like to send it back to be re-sharpened but before I do that, I would like to get some opinions about this situation first. Thanks!
