After I wiped off the oil I tried the HHT and hairs popped all along the blade. When I shaved with it, the experience was NOTHING like before and it shaved quite smoothly. Unfortunately I decided to stop after my WTG and XTG passes because I am unused to the heft and size of the blade. I got a couple nicks and I didn't feel like pressing my luck tonight. I'm sure with more practice, I will get as proficient as I am with my Dovo and my journey with straight razors will carry on.
Anyway, all is well with the Hart now. It's unfortunate that it didn't come like this on the first time around but they fixed the problem and I now have a wonderful Hart added to my collection of 3 :)
