What's causing these hairy charcoal strokes?

@nahgul
I'm pretty new to charcoal as a medium so I followed Proko's old video on sharpening the pencil and I think my pencil turned out looking pretty good but when I tried it the strokes did not come out nearly as soft as in the video. Anyone who knows what might be causing this?

Ditto Steve. Conte is only buttery smooth on smooth newsprint.

Stan is drawing on smooth news print paper, which is very smooth. It looks like you are picking up the texture of the paper.
