I'm really glad that folks share here; picked up some bad habits and it is always good to get back to basics.

My biggest challenge is watching my angle. I have a bad tendency to let the angle get way too steep and just kill my face and the edge. I have a Friodur that gives me fits with honing sometimes... until I realize the razor is sharp and my technique is what is dull!

Used it this morning and had a wonderful shave! What a way to start a great Christmas!
