Now why would he send it to Lynn?

: humor aside... let’s assume he is here for some guidance, and not let sharpening a razor with a fancy name get the better of him.
Now with all that said…
Stalker: Have you tried back-and-forth strokes (maybe with a little pressure)?, it works wonders setting the bevel. It is also possible the razor is really dull, in that case your Coticule may not remove enough steel within a reasonable time, in that case I would suggest you set the bevel on a courser stone, unfortunately you may have to buy one of you don’t already have one. Go to the nearest hardware store and get a double sided (course and fine) sharpening stone (some folks recommend a diamond hone like a DMT), and set the bevel on the fine side (you may place a bit of tape on the spine if you like… but only one layer and replace the tape as it wears through). Once the bevel is set then you may use the Coticule with milky slurry and refine the edge as you would any other razor, finish with light strokes on water only.
And if despite you best efforts, you cannot get the edge shaving sharp, there is no shame in availing yourself of our very own “Top Shelf” honing service… and unlike other services you won’t have to spend a dime more than shipping…... and I may add the quality is as good as (and some say better than) ANY paid service
. At the very least, you will get a second opinion of the blade… just in case you got a bad one… indeed it can happen even to the best.
Now if you haven’t already done so, try back-and-forth strokes with a little pressure and let us know how that works out… we are here to help.
