Just to clarify

Both razors fail on the 1st WTG pass
Both Razors shave on the 2nd WTG pass after a Re-lather
Both razors have been stropped


If that is true then your issue is your prep/lather

or

I am misreading your post and ignore me
No I read that too - but I don't have the same reaction the rest of you guys have on this!

I have had quite a few blades that were "close but not quite there" that pulled like the Dickens on the first pass, but "shaved" on the second pass. That doesn't read funny to me.

I can't explain it. Before I tried to understand it, I got more razors or learned to stop, and touch up before moving on to the second pass - or even finnishing the first. Though I admit it seems odd, but its happened to me so often that I wonder if we shouldn't explore it more. I can tell you bar none, its wasn't a prep issue in my case.
