Hi everybody!

I'm very new to this site and to straight razors!
This year for christmas my beautiful girlfriend bought me a wonderful straight razor.
Without any doubts I jump right into it and loved it.
With a few videos I learned how to propely shave myself why this deadly weapon.
BUT lately i've had a few problems that need's help.
After a few months the blade started to feel weak and it started to pull more often my facial hair.
So i decided to buy a honing stone!
I went to '' Le centre du razoir'' and ask for help.
The owner told me that a 1k stone would do perfectly the job.
I know nothing about honing so I went for it.
Saddly after honing my razor for the first time, it gave me more irritation than before...

Why?
Is it my honing technic or my stone?

Ps sorry for the bad english i'm french.


Hope you dandy lads can help!


Cheers!
Simon
