I recently received a nifty Puma from my local barber as a gift and decided to give it a go for my 5th shave. I've had excellent luck and result on my first 4 shaves so it was time to push the envelope a bit. I planned a full 3 pass session. now that the preparation is complete it's time to jump in. 1st pass with the Puma is a little difficult. Lots of tugging. This razor definitely needs a proper honing. I persevere thru the 1st pass but abandon the Puma for a recently purchased shave ready Dovo Master on pass 2 and 3.
Results: No missed spots but one nick on the upper lip from the Puma. Also a bit of razor burn not experienced in previous sessions. Have to believe it was the Puma. All in all still another positive experience.
Next step >>> Honing 101. Stones and practice razor have arrived. Wish me luck.
