I got a shave ready razor and used it for the first time yesterday and experienced a lot of pulling when shaving the thick hair on my neck/under chin...it almost hurt to shave it. i was using the right angle and I stropped 20xlinen/50xstrop before i started.

Should I be getting that much resistance? I am assuming not. I would guess that I might need to touch it up but i haven't tried honing yet so It'd probably end up in worse condition.

Thoughts?
