Even if it was shave ready sharp when you got it, and even if you have been stropping correctly, and even if you now have the angles and techniques down pat, if you have been at this for any length of time without doing any kind of touch up maintenance (like a few strokes once in a while on a finishing stone or barber hone or a CrOx pasted strop) the razor is probably dulled to the point of needing at least a touch up. I find I only get about a weeks worth of shaves from a "shave ready" blade before it needs some kind of touch up. Sounds like you're well past that point.

So, I suggest;

1. get it sharpened (alternatively, get a pasted strop and try that to see if thats all it needs first)

2. See if anyone on the forum with honing experience lives near you and can help without you having to send it away.

3. If you have to send it away for honing, while you are waiting to get it back, call around to barber supply places listed in the yellow pages and pick up a disposable blade straight razor ($10) so you can a) keep shaving and b) confirm that its not your technique.
