At the moment I believe that there is no such thing as "too sharp razor". It could be DE or straight no matter.
I believe that everything depends on muscle memory.
Each blade & razor needs its own "touch" and that touch must transform due to many variables like Bart mentioned.
Some variables to mention
*lather
*balance
*stroke
*angle
*pressure
*soap or cream
*which manufacturers soap/cream
*shaving moment
*your feeling to shave
*your experience with that particular razor in your hand (muscle memory with that razor and especially with different variables)
*shaving time (hurry or not)
*prep work
*climate
*your stress factor
*your muscles stress factor
*your whiskers type
*your skin type
*how many days grown
*and so on & on & on
It is not only sharpness thing or how much pressure a man load into the blade.
But at the end..... it is fun and challenging to learn different razors.Last edited by TonyJ; 11-14-2009 at 05:19 AM. Reason: stupid typing
