Im waiting on a another wapi so that I can send it to Lynn.My only problem that Im encountering so far is that I seem to get razor burn, something that I would never get with disposables. The razor seems sharp enough as I have honed it on a norton 4/8 combo & stropped it & it will pass the HHT.Im only doing a few passes on my face and using proraso soap that comes in the green tub. On a plus note, I have noticed Im not getting any ingrown hairs around my neck like I used to.
I guess Im trying to pinpoint what Im doing wrong to give myself razor burn:shrug:
Cheers.
Sab.
