Thread: My razor is too sharp???? I like a duller edge??

Sorry I am late to this thread. It has been a long 2 days. I have only read the first 2 pages of posts and decided to put my $.02 in.

"To sharp" is when I get a bunch of weepers. "To sharp" is when I have to be very careful when shaving or I will get cut. "To sharp" is when I simply lay the blade on my face and I get a cut. "To sharp" is when my skin is a bit raw after the shave. That is my definition of to sharp... FOR ME!

To avoid honing a razor to an unacceptable level of sharpness I practice incremental honing. I sneak up on an edge that suits me by honing, shave testing, honing shave testing etc.

If I do manage to get it "to sharp" I take it back to the Norton 4K and start over.

Just my $.02,
