I must be doing something wrong? As the title says this is the first time I've used a SR, grew up on DE and TE stuff.

I just purchased what I think is a good razor and it claims to be "Shave Ready" It does cut the hair on my arm easily, but beard hair is a different story and I don't know if it's me or the razor. I prepped my beard as best I could, lathered up and started my first pass. It seems that no matter what angle, or touch I use the blade drags and will not shave the coarse stubble without pulling skin and cutting my face. There is a lot of resistance. Nothing like the videos I've seen that make it look not so difficult.

Anyone know what my problem may be?
