Hey
I finally got down to it and honed my razor and started shaving after a shower. I clearly did a horrible job on honing it. It pulled the hair on every stroke, and I'm sure my technique is terrible as well. BUT.... I love it! I am sure I will get better.
I have a used shave ready comming in the mail and should be here in a week, I can't wait to see how it is compared to my razer.
I had to finish my shave with my mach 3, I hope it is the last time I need to look at that thing :0)
It was my first time with a shave brush and soap, and I love that too!

So, should I just hone it again? I did a 3-3, 1-5, 1-7 pyramid on my Norton 4000/8000.
then stropped 30 times.
I tried my best to keep the razor even on the stone without lifting or tiping it to one side or the other, but who knows, it was my first time :0)
Still lovin it, even with a sore face!
