I bet that the hone and strop are also pretty useless too, huh?

You may want to start by reading this thread:
CRITICAL INFO FOR NEW MEMBERS!!: Read This Before Buying/Using A Straight Razor!! - Straight Razor Place Forums
If you can spare about $20, do yourself a favor and get Lynn Abram's DVD. It's lots of basic knowledge about straight edge razors in a very compact form.
BTW, welcome to SRP! If you're serious about straight razors, you came to the right place. Enjoy the ride!

Well, there's $60 I'll never get back. So do you know another safe site I can get a razor from? Preferrably not too pricey, since I'm a high school student ant this thing was a graduation present.

I have never sold, nor will I ever sell a powerplus tool. I don't sell tools at all. It was just an example.
But if I did, and you bought one, it would be your own fault.
60$ does not buy you a quality drill, nor does it buy you a quality razor + strop + hone.
TheMajor will not have known this, just as I didn't know that you don't store a loom strop under tension or that you don't lift the spine while stropping. Most of us ended up here after finding out the hard way that something was not right.
Consider it a rite of passage

The old saying, buy cheap, get cheap rings true in this instance. Many of the SRP members sell restored razors at a VERY reasonable price and you will get a quality shave ready razor.
Good Luck my friend.
