Hi, how's it going? I'm new to SE shaving but I've been using a DE for a fair while now. I've always wanted to try the "real thing", so I picked up this Bismarck 11/16 fully hollow ground for a fair price. The guy had 100% positive feedback, and said that the razor was shave ready (being honed through a series up to 1200 grit then stropped), but I still feel it tugging a bit more than my DE. Granted I've only tried it once so far, but could it be my technique that's the problem (angle maybe?), or is it just not shave ready? It seems to be in remarkably good condition given its age, and the birdseye maple scales are lovely!
