Thanked: 315Thanks for the advice and suggestions. I may just need to keep working on my technique.
I didn't have an issue with the quality of the edge, I just thought it a finer edge may be better if my hair is coarser than average. I'm pretty sure he mentioned he was finishing the W&B's on the coticule because they were Sheffields. I just didn't mention his name, because I didn't want anyone to misconstrue my post as being critical of his work. I'm sure it was done right.
I usually shave right after I get out of the shower. I'm still using canned shaving cream.
I don't have anything to compare my stropping to. I go pretty slow so I don't cut up my strop. The wedge seems easier to strop because of the weight of the blade.
I'm using a homemade strop right now. In the near future, I would like to get a professionally made leather strop with a linen or fabric component.
I used the term 'hollow' as a broad term. It looks like a half hollow to me. I just thought I would mention that I was using the two types of blades. I'll try using the half hollow more and maybe I'll see some improvement.
I have some larger hollow (half hollow I believe) razors. One of them is a 8/8 W&B. If I got it rescaled and honed, would it be easier to learn with than my 5/8" half hollow?
Thanks again.
