First couple of shaves pulling and tugging like CRAZY
I wanted to get into straight razor shaving so I grabbed myself a nice DOVO ebony kit with a tony miller strop, honed shaved ready by classicshaving.com with some taylor of old bond street shaving cream.
First time I took a long hot shower, kept my face wet and prepped the cream. Started to shave at what I'm assuming is decent 30 degree angle (cant tell for sure though) and this "shave ready" razor kept pulling and tugging on my whiskers in a feeble attempt to cut them. It was SCARY. I have real tough, pain in the ass whiskers but I wasnt expecting it to be this difficult
Figured it wasnt shave ready or something, so I took it to a pro cutlery/barber supplies shop in LA to get professionally honed and stropped. Got home and AGAIN same issue. So I know its probably not the razor. What else would cause the shave to be so difficult (and consequently, dangerous)?
