Well, for the pas month I've been getting the proper tools together for a straight razor shave. I bought a dovo inox razor and sent it over to mr.abrams for honing, an Illinois strop, and a standard brush. I stropped the razor got a nice warm lather built up, and went for my first shave. It felt like dragging a dull knife against my face and there was very little hair removed. I've watched all the videos and read a lot of the threads here. But it seems like I cannot remove the small amount of hair on my face with any number of passes. I have to dig into my face with this razor to get any progress. Whats the deal ? I shouldn't have to use this much pressure. I am holding the razor at like a 45 degree angle, and I am holding my face taught. Is this razor just crap or whats up ? I want a super shave and I seem to have bad luck. If I try to do the hht it won't cut it and it takes some pressure if I fold the hair and pull it over the blade. I thought after a honing this razor is supposed to be super sharp.
