    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.
