Now this might sound a little silly but hear me out. I started my shave today, first time in a few days and my beard was getting a little length to it. I did my regular prep to my face and did a little strop work and began shaving .. I found that it pulled a bit. it was a bit uncomfortable and figured maybe it was time to get it honed.. however I've only done about ten shaves on it and honing where i live seems to be a difficult find.

Anyway i went on to do the second pass and all was good. Felt great and went smoothly. Does the first pass with a little extra hair growth tend to pull a bit? i know this sounds silly because the obvious answer to me would be yes because theres longer hair... However i am new to this so I'm thinking maybe it just wasn't sharp enough... Any comments would be greatly appreciated..
