Good advice from Brett.
I would re sharpen iron if that did not work I would regrind primary bevel 25 degrees start afresh.Sometimes with stropping you can also round over the edge.
If iron has a good edge it should bit into wood.
I have wooden plane which is of eastern type plane it was working pretty well but just started to go dull. I sharpened iron and went to use . No matter how I set the plane it just skidded off of timber. I have a Tormek so grinding not to much of a problem for me and is reasonably quick. I reground 25 degree primary and added approx 30 degree micro bevel. Replaced iron set shallow and took a shaving straight off the bat. I must of rounded edge over on iron somehow. Something to keep your eye open for when it happens again.
