HHT-sharp not sharp enough?
If a razor passes the hanging hair test like a dream is it likely that it will still pull when shaving?
My current shaver was honed by AFDavis and it cuts hanging hairs effortlessly all along the blade.
But it still pulls a lot around my chin. I'm unable to complete a smooth with-the-grain stroke. As soon as I touch the razor to my skin it hangs up, and I would have to force it to get it to cut.
It works pretty well on my cheeks, but right now I'm having to use my DE on my chin.
I'm thinking it's probably a technique or prep problem, but I wanted to seek advice as I work through it.
Cool thing is I'm getting my cheeks smoother with the straight in three passes than I've been able to do with my DE in four. I also have less irritation because I'm less tempted to take multiple strokes over the same area after I've shaved off the lather...
Thanks,
Josh
