I think I have figured out the problem. I have been using Cognac & Cuban Cigar soap when I should have been using the Sandalwood that's coming today, it is bound to make me shave better;).
Next order will probably the Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap if you say it's really good. What does it smell like because I think I can use the razor better with the right smell.
I'm glad you like my razor, what are you using?
I doubt I will use a belt to strop with but when I have the hang of stopping on my board I will definitely progress to a hanging type strop.
Incidentally I am from England originally and wasn't taught to keep a car length for every 10mph, far too much thinking. I was taught the 2 second rule - if the car in front passes a tree or something and you can say "Only a fool breaks the 2 second rule" before you pass the same tree etc. then you're good.
