Thanked: 35Lesson In Sharpness...
So I've been pondering somthing for awhile. That is, if I travel, what am I gonna Shave with? I'm Not risking My butchers! Even my newer German Hollowground isn't somthing I'm willing to accidentally leave behind. So, though most on here hate them, I decided to buy a cheapo shavette Razor to take when I must travel. I got a magic Razor brand shavette and some blades for it.
I got home and decided i needed to shave anyway, might as well give this thing a go, that way i know what to expect. The blade goes in easy enough, and so on, so i lather up and start to shave.
And holy crap my blades are dull in comparison. It too one with the grain on my face, and only one with and one against on my neck for a perfict shave.. I guess i have to get better with my hones! Now I'm not preaching shavettes, the little bastard can knick you real good where the end of the blade and the holder meet. Theres a Gap there, and It will get you if you so much as give it a chance. BUT from this I learned i need to hone alot better. It takes me 4 wtg and 4 xtg to get my face, and my neck is usually a half hour adventure all its own.
I am preaching how much a sharp blade is worth! Just because it can shave your arm hairs dont mean its sharp enough! You really do need that hair drop test sharpness! And trust me, its alot better being sharper!!!
