Have you looked? everytime I feel like the edge is harsh, there is something besides a smooth even looking edge.
Just asking
Yes Kevin I have. I think I have sensitive skin. I can't shave more then two passes without irritation no matter what I use (DE or straight) and with a DE the first shave was usually a bit harsh feeling (with a Feather). I always use magnification 30X before during and after honing. I don't leave chips if they are there to start with and rarely cause them with my honing. Thanks for asking though.
