Long time lurker/member. Not many posts. First SR shave today. Ordered and received a beautiful Ralf Aust French point 6/8, ebony scales w/silver inlay this week. First SR shave this morning with Tallow and Steel Himalaya soap. Had a slickness/razor glide issue that I am sure is just my technique, but looking for a bit of feedback. I have used the soap with a DE (generally a Fatip Gentile or Piccolo) many times (tub almost empty). With the Aust this morning I had some slickness issues. I am sure it is just my sad newbie technique, but I want to ensure that my razor is shave ready. Anyone else have any issues with razors from Maggards or Aust? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
