Not sure where to drop this one so here it goes...

So I usually test a piece of my wifes hair from her brush after stropping preshave - as a verification that my 40 laps has been done well and good. Thing is, I notice that the hair only cuts with the follicle on the side being cut off. Additionally - some hairs drop while others are being split. I ran the blade all the way down one hair splitting it in two.. Is this typical expected sharpness or am I not up to par on the sharpness scale?

Yes overall I'm happy with my shaving experience minus a few other items and the blade cuts well when held correctly.
