    Welcome to the forum, Nice to see another member from Jacksonville. Larry is a good guy, and a friend of mine. If he said the blade was shave ready, it probably was. Shaving with a straight razor takes time and practice. You'll get it, try not to get frustratred. Honing, is whole different ball game, you may have done more harm than good. 9 times out of 10, when your new, it is your technique. If you want, pm me, I'll be glad to check out your razor for you, and hone it up it necessary, and help you out...

    P.S. I'm right handed as well, When I do the right side of my face, sometimes the scales are straight out, They don't need to be like an "L" at all times, Move them if necessary...Whatever feels comfortable to you. I find, if the blade and scales are (somewhat) straight, I can shave the right side easier..Hope this makes sense.

    Rich
