HI. My name is Alex, and about a month ago I purchased a straight razor of Ebay. It's a Solingen ''amor''. Along with a Norton 4/8. And an Illinois strop. I love everything about this new found trade. My first shave burned fora day, my subsequent shaves have been getting better to where they are now comfortable. I guess I've found my little routine that works well. My question is simply how do I know if my razor is absolutely sharp. I've tried the hanging hair test, and it passes most of the time.
I'm glad I've found Strightrazor place. I learn alot and found people who are interested as I am in this wonderfull craft. I'm looking forward to passing it along to my boys when they grow up.

Thanks and look forward to talking.
Alex.
