help with my first straight
I just got my new Hen and Rooster razor the other day. First off, is this a good razor. Secondly, when I pulled it out of the case, it had an edge on it. The problem is that it is a straight cornered edge and when you look at the shape of the razor, it looks like it should be rounded. Thirdly, it is dull as hell, it won't even shave hairs on my arm. Now, I am an experienced blade sharpener and I do blades for others at a small fee. But I only have done knives, not razors, so I didn't attempt to sharpen it. I can get pocket folders, fixed blade knives, even a few 10" to 24" bowies to shave hair, but my razor won't?!? Why? I think that when I bought it, the dealer I bought it from tried to sharpen it before he delivered it. ANY comments or advice? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks to all. TJ.
