Hi guys, no response to in my other thread so thought I'd open a new one. Received a new "shave ready" TI and did not strop, was hit and miss with HHT, didn't think anything of it maybe I was doing it wrong, went ahead and shaved,felt harsh not smooth at all compared to my feather DX, I got a shave out of it but wasn't that close. New modular paddle arrived, completed 20 laps on scrub leather and 50 on the premium, tested the HHT and was cutting at 100%, shave felt mildly better than the first, 3rd shave felt about the same, so did the 4th. After the 4th, I stropped her up and did the HHT and she was cutting misrebly, I took it to my arm hair and one way it was cutting but when I turned it face down instead or face up she wasn't cutting even with some pressure.

I stropped up again 20/50, no difference, did 20/50 again, nothing. So I sprayed my .5 micron on a wool felt and did 8 laps followed by 50/100, no noticble difference, so I repeated but did 8 then 20/50, nothing.

Time to send out for honing??

I sprayed the wool felt 30 times around 6-8 inches away.

I ordered a loupe but don't know what to look for.

HELP PLEASE.
