I do the same, but sometimes with the heel forward. It all depends on which side of my face I'm on.Quote:

Orgasmic shave this afternoon!!
I think I'm getting the hang of stropping, and gave the girl thirtyfive passes before the shave. Technique seems to be improving, as I've gotten much more acustomed to the hair growth directions on my face. The wetter lather, combined with putting the blade flat against my face during the ATG passes seems to have worked wonders!! I'm absolutely hooked!!!
The best part is, absolutely zero razor burn, which is much better than I can say for my DE, even with the sharpest of feather blades!
I was going to send my razors to lynn through classicshaving.com, but was wondering if he preferred/minded sending them to him directly. I know he's a member here, and was wondering if I could perhaps just PM him, and send them to his shop. I have three razors I'd like honed, and was wondering if he'd take all three and return them in one package.
(Can anyone tell I'm wagging like a puppy here???)
