+1 with Sham and Steven. You might take a look at the barber manual excerpt from the SRP Wiki here.

On page 24 where they show the blade profile illustration they describe a method for getting the heel and the point up to speed without overdoing the midsection of the blade. They do qualify this method as 'for the advanced student' so take that into consideration.
