Hi all,
I started shaving with SR about 4 months ago, after many years of using Feather AC with variety of razors ( Cobra, Mongoose, Asylum RX and others). Now I am getting consistant, smooth, nick and irritation free shaves with my razors: Boker, Ralf Aust and couple of others. They are professionaly honed ( I only have strop ).
One issue is that my shaves, while very good, are not as smooth, in terms of end result) as what I was getting with Super Pro Feather AC. I was wondering if I should try to apply a little bit more pressure while using SR, comparing with SE. I understand my SR are not as sharp as AC, even immediately after honing. When I am using SE, especially Super Pro, I apply no pressure at all.
I am considering to try Stash McCoy 'method' to get SR sharper, but I am not sure it can rival sharpness of AC.
May be getting shaves as smooth as SE with Feather can not be achieved with SR?
