Hello everyone,

The salesman told me that the blade is shave ready. It is made in Solingen so I'm pretty sure it is shave ready. I looked at the blade and there are no pockets of reflections indicating the blade is perfectly sharp. I tried using the blade at all angles especially with the grain but it appears to me that only some will cut while other hairs within the blade's range would not cut. I know I am a beginner so my technique has an area for improvement. But with all angles and after shaving the same area several times, shouldn't the hair come off?
