Many thanks for the detail in the reply and the video, I have managed to follow your advice and have just had a very comfortable shave with a very sharp razor.

Honed the razor as described but upon stropping the razor was being dulled on one side. So completley my fault.

Once again thanks for the advice and very happy now as I have had the razor a month and only shaved twice so now i can get used to it.

Just used it and the only area I never attempted was the neck, come to that in due course but a very close shave I must say.
