Its true that one beard is different than the other, course vs fine, and it will cause the problems that you have mentioned, whats shaving sharp to one will be pulling, tugging and painful to the next. If I were an adequate honer and had enough experience honing for others, I would think an asessment of the individuals whiskers would be highly valuable and appreciated. Contact several guys here on the forum and create a dialogue just as if you were taking bids from any other contractor and choose accordingly. GSSIXGUN may ask for a beard sample, something about his new whiskometer.
