Make sure that's its been honed beyond the factory edge. The worst thing you can do in starting this venture, is trying to shave with a razor that's not up to the job. Another is not proper pre shave prep, and a poor lather.
A must, is learning to strop properly. If done incorrectly, you'll destroy the delicate shaving edge.
I highly recommend you look thru the beginners section of the forum to get more acquainted with things.
Glad to have ya with us.
