    I would start over using a razor freshly honed by a pro razor honer. Even the finest new razor made will not shave until its edge has been made truely shave ready.

    I hope that the knife guy has not damaged your razor. An experienced SR user with a lot of honing experience could possibly help out with your razor and technique.

    Try Keeping the spine closer to your face. Raising the spine too much causes scraping, skin irritation and nicks. It also dulls the razor quickly.

    Keep skin pressure very light (no pressure) and keep your skin stretched to raise hairs and prevent catching and digging.
