Thread: Is it suppose to hurt the first time (and second, and third)?

My first 3 shaves gave me razor burn afterwards, sometimes it felt like my face was giving off heat like a radiator! It isn't uncommon and you shouldn't let it put you off.

In my case it was down to poor honing (my own!), not enough stropping, and bad shaving technique.

It gets better quickly, but if your vendor didn't sharpen it after it left the factory, it probably needs to be properly honed.

EDIT> Their website does mention a sharpening service, so the question is, did you buy the razor sharpened by them?
