Thread: New SR: doesn't seem sharp enough?

While there is a microscopic chance the razor is not sharp enough, the overwhelming likelihood is that your technique has a lot to improve. Pulling often is the result of too steep an angle of the razor to your face. The spine of the razor should be lifted a little less than half-way to being perpendicular. About 30 degrees or so. Steeper than that and it will just scrape along your face and pull.

You could also be putting too much pressure on your face. Just guide the edge along your face with as little pressure as possible.

You might also have stropped poorly and dulled the blade some. We all did that when we started out.

Hope that helps. You'll definitely get lots of better advice from others.
