    Default Didn’t get a close shave

    I just got done with my first shave with a straight and didn’t get that close of a shave. It was honed by Lynn Abrams so I’m sure the problem is with me. I’m realizing running it across my fingernail may have been a mistake( I did this a couple times) to see how sharp it was. It was shave ready but i still stropped it a dozen or so before i shaved. When I shaved I didn’t apply a lot of pressure and may not have had the correct angle most of the time. I’m trying to figure out if I dulled the blade some, or if my technique is just horrible?


    Thanks
