Thread: Trouble Getting Straight Shave a Smooth as My DE, Question About Honing

While I may be chastised for saying it, even the Van De Hagen is better than the canned soap.

The size, grind, maker etc makes no difference! If you can't get a good shave with what you have (which is a couple of good razors/Pro Honed) then your just wasting your time!!

As has been brought up/Learning this Age Old Art takes Time and Patience!

You need to do just that! Be Patient and Acknowledge that to learn this Ancient Art takes time.

Hang in there! It will come! It will just take 'Time'.

Smooth Shaving My Brother In Blades!

I agree in general that the size and grind is not a big issue if all the blades are quality, but I think us newbies are better off sticking to a single razor for a while until we develop some degree of proficiency. It can be frustrating to switch blades in the search of 'the right one' when we're still trying to learn technique.
