I can't imagine how it could happen as the blade that Tony sent me shaved at least as well as anything I honed. I am guessing your angle is off. When I was teaching my co-worker and mentioned a 30 degree angle, he put it almost perpendicular to the skin. Other problem areas:
1) Prep. Make sure you wash your face well before applying lather. When you remove the oils, the hair will absorb the water. Make sure you give it plenty of time to absorb (120sec).
2) Stretching. If you stretch your skin properly you will make your cuts much easier on you.
3) When shaving with the grain, make sure you know which direction the hair is growing in. Know thyself well and thou shalt achieve laudable shaves, grasshoper!
