Is there some kind of protocol if sending a straight out to be honed, that you should tell the honemeister if you have a rough wiry beard? I haven't had my first shave yet, and got my first shave ready in the mail yesterday, but when trying to do a few strokes, it didn't cut a thing. The reason I'm thinking it might be my rough tough beard and it not being not shave ready, is because I bought it from what I can tell from posts and from the way he treated communication, packaging, and shipping, that he is a very reputable person. So I don't think it's not shave ready. Am I dead wrong, or does shave ready vary an entire lot? Could a razor practically be supersharp on one beard, and not cut at all on someone else? Any help greatly appreciated.
