Hello everyone,

I just had my second try on shaving with my new Thiers razor and I am writing this message with small pieces of bloody toilet paper in my face and a rough skin. I am not discouraged but a little frustrated.

I got the razor from classicshaving.com and asked for their sharpening service since I wanted to have a reference for ''shave readiness''. Unfortunately, the razor only seem to pull hair, take off the shaving cream and cause a very irritating feeling. The only place I got some succes is under the nose.

I heard that the razor should cut a hanging hair. It doesn't. I can cut the fine hair of my arm and leg quite easily with the razor but not the beard.

Anyone has an idea that can help?

Thanks a lot,

Al
