Believe me, even a not-up-to-snuff blade can give you a BBS/DFS... if you know how to use it, how and where to push it (and when not to). Listen: I hate the old "lemons/lemonade" rap as much as the next guy, but that not-sharp-enough straight razor really is. Just give it, and yourself, a chance.
Smooth shaving!
You bring up a good point. Maybe it IS sharp enough.

That begs another question: should I expect my straight razor to get as sharp as my FROMM disposables?

Thanks both of you for your help.
