After all, the first time shaver will still have to master using new and unfamiliar tool, skin stretching, blade angling, etc, etc, etc - all fruitful grounds for blaming the tool/honer for, so don't roll his edge first!
Please get a longer and better strop. It will make for a more pleasant time of it.

It's not possible to explain why or how it occurs, but one day - doing exactly what you've done for the last month or so, you put the razor down with a smile on your face and realize that this is the best shave of your life - so far.
The good news is that it keeps getting better - sure there are those days when it's not as good as the day before but that happens in any walk of life - but you never stop learning with a straight. And, more importantly, you never stop improving.
By the way, if you ever want to try a different kind of straight razor, let me know and we can discuss a few options. Like a personal pif if you like.
