honemeister edge vs shavette edge
I've been shaving on my own edges for about 5 months.
I sent out a few quality razors to a reputable honemeister because I wasn't satisfied with how far I could take an edge my own hones. I bought a shavette to shave with in the meantime. I was really impressed with the shave compared to what I was getting before with my own edge. I was looking forward to get my razors back to give me a shave much like the shavette edge has. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. I sent out 3 razors and each one is not getting me especially close to the shavette blade.
I shaved today on 4 days growth using the three razors along with the shavette. two of the honed blades were shaving with a bit of tug and one was especially rough. I cant imagine the technique for a shavette is drastically different than a standard straight. To be honest, I think I had these blades sharper on my stones. Maybe not as polished/smooth, but they shaved better.
Shouldn't these blades be on par with a shavette? or am I missing something?
Let a newb know what you think, Thanks
