Thread: Angle "Jacked Up"

Might be he is talking blade angle on his face??

Go to youtube and search for the Lynn Abrams Introduction to Straight Razor Shaving. This will help you get the razors edge and spine on the proper shaving angle.

I was wondering the same thing. Never heard the expression "jacked up" relating razor angles before.

That's what I thought!
Anything that's "jacked up" was bad. Like, "Dude, you drank all beer and didn't share? That's jacked up."

I can only assume he is maybe referring to the blade angle to his face when shaving???? Being a newbie to straight razoring as well, I am not sure. I would bet he is referring to a angle not 2 spine widths off the face but more like what I was referring to in a post of like 60 degrees or better which is going to result in my getting the razor re-set as far as bevel and sharpened again.

Sorry my original post was confusing. I do now understand the term "jacked up" was another way of saying "wrong" or "incorrect". Michael70 is correct, the reference was to the angle of the blade to the face. In context, the comment was posted to a shave video, "your angle is jacked up". I see the comment was just a criticism and not a suggested improvement.

Aaaaaaah! Mystery solved!
