Ok, it hasn't gone through a lot of shaves. I would shave roughly every other day. So maybe, 20-25 shaves?

I would say that, yes, it has been from the start. When I first got it I just assumed it was poor technique. After I addressed all of the possible areas it could be, I ended up still having bad results.

I suspect the razor was restored, but I have no idea of its history. I think this because it has a custom handle and came shiny/free of rust. Here's a picture:



I have gotten razor burn before, but only on my upper lip after trying to go ATG.
