This is maybe one of the best advices you'll get (Even if the razor was properly honed you might have ruined the edge in some way)

As I understand you're prett new to straight shaving, and there's no hidden secret that it takes some time and effort to learn and tune your skills. While you're still learning there are lots of factors that may influence your results, like shaving technique, stropping, prep and so on.

By getting your razor honed by someone like Glen or any other with skills and a good reputation you will at least for sure know your razor isn't the problem, and you can focus on the other things to learn to get a good straight shaving experience.
