Thank you both for the input. I do believe it is probably my technique. I plan to continue with the Tabac for a while as I finished the shave with my Fatboy and got a BBS. Also, that is good advice of not using my Dad's razor very much. I have a new Ralf Aust that I acquired from SRD and of course it was honed prior to shipment. I will give it a try for my next shave. Thanks again for your help.
