I'm sceptical that the razor is properly honed. I've read a few experiences on this board about cutlery shops that supposedly hone razors.

That being said it might be worth trying to shave your cheeks and stropping after for a few days. If its not getting better then get it honed.

If you can't fined anyone local then look under member services in classifieds for a pro to do it.

If money is tight and you want a non pro to take a look at it I'd be happy to do that free if you send it my way.
