this is not to anyone in particular, just this website as a whole. i have learned quite a bit over the past few weeks about many things i was doing wrong. i want to say thank you.
i had my razor honed at a local shop and thought it was sharp, however after reading about what some of the honers here are able to do, i was disappointed. could not get the HHT to pass. still shaving good, just not what you hope for. then i really read more into stropping and learned i was still doing it wrong. after 40-50 passes on the strop the last few shaves, HHT very successful. so cool you want to sit and 'pop' hairs for hours. anyway, now i feel better about my honer here locally and would recommend again.
i was not getting good lather. new brush, new technique, much improved. better lather now and a much better closer shave. BBS on the cheeks, and as close as any mach 3 ever got on my chin and neckline. still a learning curve though.
all in all, the areas that made me want to quit str8 shaving has made me enjoy it even more. i appreciate all the advice i have gotten, just by reading through old threads. if anything, i do thank lynn for a great website.
