first kamisori shave, rough :)
So I haven't shaved with a straight in at least 10 years and today I tried out my new iwasaki. Stropped it on linen then kangaroo. thats it. It wasn't exactly pleasant. Got a few minor cuts. But overall, not that bad. I have feeling this razor should be much sharper, and smoother. I could not get a really close shave somehow. And I went against the grain the best I could. Need to practice more I guess. Also the shin is a problem/training area. I figured I need to do less scraping and more cutting. I could also feel every single strand getting cut as opposed to my mach 3, and that leads me to believe its not sharp enough. Probably need to spend like 10times more on hot water and lathering too. I Iive another day though. iwasaki 10 - my face 0.
