Thanks for the advice!

Now now, logic shouldn't enter into it. So just to make sure you have a great comparison you should by another razor and have it sharpened by a honemeister then you really have a comparison. Of course then you need to compare honemeisters, and different hones, ETC.


Actually the other reason to get your blade well honed when starting out is so that you can know that it isn't the problem in your shave. I suspect that both your razors need some work but I also suspect that your technique isn't up to getting a really smooth comfortable shave yet. One professionally honed blade will both give you a point of comparison as you sharpen the other one up as well as take one variable out of the perfect shave equation.
