Thread: Strange occurence

Here's a little dilemma: Today, like always, before shaving, I stropped 30 round trips on an Illinois hanging strop. Then I did a quick hanging hair test and it passed well. But when I went to shave the parts of my face that have the most growth, it pulled (e.g. upper lip, chin). Other than the pulling it shaved beautifully and my face is smooth and not irritated. Btw it was a 6/8" TI silver steel. So, my question is this: does anyone think that this razor needs any honing beyond a lithide and a swaty followed by a pasted paddle strop (.5 micron)?
