I'm having a little difficulty getting a consistantly fine edge when sharpening.

There isn't a lot of difference but I've noticed that if I'm cutting hair right off with the front 1/3 of the blade, the rear 1/3 will cut -most- of the way through but leave the end hanging by a remaining wisp of hair.

I've seen this on 3 different razors, I think that I can even detect the difference when trying the thumb test.

So the question is, Is this common and what causes it? Most likely some flaw in my sharpening/stropping I'm sure, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd like to hear them!
