first shave
I am not sure where I went wrong, probably too many to list, but I got a new Wapi (prehoned and shave ready) and didn't have a strop so I thought (first problem, "I thought" LOL) why not try something else, so I took a stack of printer paper and layed it flat and "stropped" the razor on the paper lathered up and tried my first shave. Well that didn't go too well or I wouldn't be typing this right?
I am not sure if I ruined the edge with the paper or didn't hold the razor correctly or what of any number of things it could be but it just didn't seem sharp and really gave me a bit of a rash with only one tiny nick. (didn't even use stypic) So what does everyone think, should I have it rehoned, just buy a good strop and try again, sell it all on ebay and stick to cartridges?
Help and thanks,
