My cars have all had synchros in 1st. It's reverse that usually doesn't. The synchro is what blocks you out of 1st gear if your clutch is dragging. Try shifting into 1st when you're almost stopped. Like in the last foot before you completely stop.

Try shifting into reverse when you're moving (slowly). That's what its like to not have a synchro.
