Thread: Ideal pressure is no pressure.......

So I received my razor back from Lynn all sharpened and ready to go. I have no doubt about it that all issues are mine to figure out.
I've tried a 30 degree Angle WTG to start with. The razor seems to just rake the hair. It cut, but not very smooth.

Here is my question thoughts... I read that when shaving the ideal pressure is no pressure. The blade does all the work.
My experience with double edge is that some pressure is necessary or it won't cut all the hair.

Can anyone give me an idea of how hard to press on this razor using an example.
This may sound dumb but say press a demonstration razor (not used for shaving) against a digital food scale with the same amount of force that you use to shave....

Edit: the spine would work agaist the scale.

I'm afraid that I'm being to cautious with my shave stroke.

Thanks

Justin
