Ok, all funnies aside. I have to agree that something is amiss with the OP's post. If all he says is correct, there should be hairs being cut.
I'm curious about a fewthings: Where did you get this razor and who told you it was shave ready? If it was indeed a shave ready razor, then there is a possibility that the edge has been rolled from improper stropping.
