I'll give a more reputable honmeister a try though, regardless of cost. I fully intend to begin honing my own razors and I would really like a good benchmark to work towards.
Thanks guys.

I am confused. Perhaps someone could enlighten me. On my chin, using a razor that I consider sharp enough to shave my beard, if I were to increase the angle of attack to much, I would either peel skin or cut myself. I use almost no pressure.

I would think that your razor is not up to the game.

Is the uniformity of residue left on the blade after stropping any indication of the sharpness of the blade,or correctness of stropping technique ?
