Thanked: 0Too much stroppin & too sharp?
I just had my... I think about 8th or 9th shave or so, and had the worst razor burn yet. Most of the shaved area tingles, whereas before it was more localized. I wonder if I made the razor too sharp by over stropping it? I stropped 50 passes on the Tony Miller combination strop (It's small, about half the size of a hanging strop). Before I would do about 30-40 passes. The razor also 'rests' for about four days between shaves. I think my stropping technique is improving, but I wonder if I should take it easy on the stropping now. The razor shaves very well, no pulling, and though I cut myself twice, once was when I wasn't shaving, and didn't realize the razor was so close to my face, and it sank it at a 90 degree angle (very small cut though), and another time I think it was just lack of concentration, so it's the razor's problem. What do you think?
