Hey guys. I recently got a straight razor, and a few nights ago got a strop and two sided whetstone(3000/8000, submerged overnight and came with a 30 degree angle assist). I was hoping I would be able to have a nice and sharp blade after 15 round trips on both sides of the whetstone, and 25 round trips on both sides of the strop, but I was greeted by a blade that felt dull and barely scraped the surface of my face. I do not have long, or coarse hair. I applied a hot towel, brushed on a layer of shaving soap, applied another hot towel to wash off the shaving soap, and then applied another layer to start. Where did I go wrong? I assume the 3000/8000 grit is not low enough for an out of the box razor. Any help is much appreciated.
