Thanked: 5Help with my new razor
Hey all. So I just got a new to me SR. It's a Geneva 5/8. My first razor was a full hallow dovo best quality 5/8 round tip. I'm about 12 or so shaves into this journey and I'm really getting ccs on a regular basis. When I'm in the mood I'm able to get bbs with a 3rd pass xtg. I feel like I have made descent strides in my technique. I don't come away from shaves with nicks or cuts or irritation now. The question is might I need to change my technique with this new razor? It's much lighter than the dovo. I ask because I tried it for the first time today. I got very poor results though. I purchased the razor from a reputable store who I did research on and found its one of the stores known for delivering true shave ready razors. I spoke with them directly to explains I wanted to make sure this blade would come ready to go as I wanted to use it as a gauge to how badly I messed up the dovo with my rookie strop technique. I've since refined my stropping to where I got the dovo back in good shape with croox. With the new Geneva I made my passes as normal but it was not taking off the whiskers. Please advise if it might be my technique that needs to change for this razor or should I send it back out for re hone. I guess I kind of know the answer. I Will probably send it out to SRD unless you all have some ideas on what I might need to change. Thanks.
