This is my first post and I was hoping it would have been a better one.
My name is Igor, I have been doing a lot of reading on the forum and watching videos before buying my first razor. I got a 5/8 J.R. Torrey Razor Co. razor.

Well, this the story.
Didn't shave for four days before trying the razor. Tried the razor on the back side of the hand, and it cleaned it up nice and smooth. Now on to the face. Not sure if my beard was too thick or I wasn't doing it right... it wouldn't cut it. Picked up the Mach3 and finished the job...

NO, I am not giving up... will try it again in a few days..
If the razor cut the hair on the back of the hand just fine, I am assuming it should do the same on the face??? Or am I wrong???
I am no stranger to tools and sharpening them... Had a cabinet shop for many years.
Before using the razor I honed it from 1000 - 4000 -8000 and then stoped it...
It feels very sharp to me.

Any advice? Thoughts? etc.

Thanks in advance.

Igor
