Can anyone give advice as to what I'm doing wrong? Am I not applying enough pressure? I'm trying to shave at a 30 degree angle, but just can't work out why it's not working.

Any help would be appreciated.
It seems that the razor is not shave-ready. Does the blade shave arm hair? If not then the razor needs to be honed. Also a 30 degree angle might be too steep. Try as flat of an angle as possible. Patience is key at the beginning stages. Most newbies ruin their edges by using steep angles, incorrect stropping...etc. We have all done it at one point or another Most important thing is to have fun and not rush it.
