I was wondering if a 6/8 would be better, was thinking of a dovo micarta razor. I love using the straight razor but am frustrated by the learning process. I watch lots of videos but if you dont know if your razor is right, feels sharp but is it? shaves good but seems to drag a bit and so on... is there a video or material for us dummies that seems to cover this. I would love to get one done by a sharpening service and see the difference. I guess I am a bit rambling in this post but this is an investment of time and money and I hate to learn on an expensive razor, to learn its not for me ! HELP! because I really enjoy using a straight but its beating me up a bit... thanks.
