Prep is a big thing. Dont try and hone your razor for a good while it shouldnt need it. Work on correct stroping technique. Read the wiki...it is your friend, say it with me "the wiki is my friend". Relax it takes time, just keep at it. If your stropping is good and all else fails it could just be practice. It's been 4 months for me and I still cant shave atg on my neck without getting crazy razor burn.
