I see where you said you honed it yourself. If you haven't honed a razor before, and depending on how well you set the bevel, what stones you used, and if you used pastes or sprays all come into factor now. Lots of variables to sift through. Send it out to be honed, if it's better, then your honing may be the culprit (not bashing at all here; we all started somewhere), if the same, then possibly your technique shaving (again not bashing here).
