Thread: Is it sharp enough?

have someone with honing experience look at it. New to SRP not to straight razor shaving. my new razor which I paid extra for the honing service was not up to par. Even though I have been using a straight razor for over a year, I thought maybe with the new razor, I had to be at fault since it was guranteed shave ready from place of purcahse. A little after a week of of tugging, pulling, not being able to work the jaw line or final upward strokes. The not being able to get a really good shave with it, got to me. I got fed and stroped/pasted the hell out of it. I didnt make the situation any better and not any worse either. obviously, I didnt do something right. I could see how someone could try and blame me for the razor edge now. my advice have someone look at it or contact the place of purchase. I can put an evil edge on a knife but Ill admit there is a curve for the straight razor and to me it is definately different even with the every day stroping seeming to be very easy. most reptuable places are going to take care of their customers. A couple of emails, was all it took me to be told to send it back for free honing. other things Im not happy about but thats another story and I know it will get worked out as well. Hope everything works out for you. Lots of good resources on here and the net.

Thanks hammer. I've contacted the company I bought it from so hopefully I can get this worked out. If not maybe there's someone close to me (Bakersfield, Ca) that is proficient at honing and would be willing to help out. I got plenty of beer. Lol
