Hey guys. I just had my first straight razor shave about 20 minutes ago. Suffice to say that it did not go very well. I have small cuts in about three places. The lather felt great and i really liked it. Thats where the good things stop however. The actual shave was rather unpleasent. The razor scraped across my skin and didnt glide like it should. Also it didnt seem to take any hair off which was somewhat annoying. The razor had been honed before it was sent to me so it not a case of it not being honed. So guys what am i doing wrong?

Thanks
Zach
