You should send your razor out to one of the pro honing guys to see what that does. It should improve your edge dramatically. I agree with matloffm above with regards to honing, in that you should learn to do it. Send this razor out first and see what that does for your shave. Look into a Naniwa 12k stone for touch ups to your razor. I find that touching mine up every two weeks or so works magic on the blade. I have more stones than just the 12k, but with regular maintenance I may never need another stone.
Most of the other stones I have are for damaged or severely worn razors that have not been maintained.

No matter what kind of beard you have you can get BBS if you have a proper sharp razor and you have the technique to do it. Certainly professional barbers back in the day routinely did it so.....
Also keep in mind a total BBS shave is not indicative of a great shave.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

It took me 3 months to get my first BBS on the neck. I been straight shaving 7 months now and I go for and get BBS every day. Now I get a 2 pass and a little touchup bbs as opposed to 3 on the face and 4 on the neck before. I do both neck passes atg. You will find what works for you and my experience is irrelevant. All parts of the shave have to be on, lather, stropping and of course a sharp razor. I use a slicing stroke that prevents the skin from lifting which I believe is at least one of the reasons for razor burn. Keep at it, I almost went back to de after some frustrating shaving session. You can get it if you want it. Good luck.
