Need advice/help with straight razor please

OK, I bought a Shumate straight razor from an antique store recently. It is in very good condition. No nicks, no rust, nothing. I sent it off to be professionally honed at my shave shop here in OKC. It came back. It cut hair on my arm. I stropped it before I used it....and it still feels like I am using a VERY dull cartridge razor. It barely shaves any hair off my face. it feels like its pulling the entire time.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it a bad razor? More honing? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad
