You're experience is the norm.
Use it for display.
Razors from Pakistan are on SRP's "Razors to avoid" list for just the reasons you are experiencing. As TBS stated, just use it for display or a letter/box opener.
Drop it and chip the crap out of it... Apologize profusely, and buy a normal one in it's place and refer to it as your brother'ss present from here on.... Keep it it on the down low...
After you start feeling like the bevel is starting; switch over to a pasted strop and just use that, then linen and then leather. The metal edge of the razor may be flaking off as you continue to use your stones. Idea.
some pakis are "hard to die" to get it sharp but you can get a regular shave at the end.
