Yes absolutely - it could totally be me. My technique is definitely a work in progress. As for stropping - also a work in progress but I don't really find it that difficult. I use the weight of the razor and nothing else. I have a 3inch Heirloom value strop. It comes with a cotton component but I have not used that portion.As you are new to straight razors, and you say, that also with professionally honed razors you still had razor burn, I would also consider other factors than just the finisher as possible root cause for your skin irritation. Stropping and general shaving technique require some practice.
