    My other blade was professionally honed as well (not by Lynn) but it's not nearly as sharp. Makes me wonder if I'm botching up my stropping. Anyway, my question: is it possible that a blade be TOO sharp?
    No. A blade can't be too sharp. You simply used the new razor the way you use your other razor which is less sharp. You have to adjust to the blade.

    Excellent feedback, thanks guys. I asked this because I suspected the answer to be "no" and I fully embrace the idea that my technique is the fault here. But I ask because I really like all the feedback. Thanks again.
