Well, I gave it a go again. A while back I stuck to my guns for about three solid weeks, and maybe my razor was not all that sharp, but I could not get anything resembling a close shave either with or without blood. I understand that there is a huge learning curve, and I should keep my expectations low. But I would have thought I would see some improvement after three solid weeks. Either way I did not.
Fast forward maybe two months after that. Tonight I get out the razor, give it a go. Slice. Corner of the lip. Man, this sucks. Funny thing is though I am cut, I am not quitting. Gonna send my razor out for a real honing and give it a go again. Concentrate on my form stropping cause maybe that is part of my problem too. I do not press too hard, and I do not nick the strop. Who knows.
