So half way through I tried stropping it but I didn't notice any improvement. This is very frustrating! As far as I can see I'm doing everything right. Do you think if I sent it to one of these members they could get it even sharper for me? Although it's popping of some hairs at mid range, I did the the same test with a blade out of a disposable razor and it was popping off hairs much more readily, so I still think it needs to be sharper.
Whereabouts are you in the UK? Maybe there is someone near to you that could help. Let us know and I'm sure someone will be in touch
