Why won't my razor shave my beard?
A year ago I got a dovo shavette from The Art of Shaving. (It is a straight razor that uses replaceable DE blades). I have spent the past year learning basics like how to stretch my skin, and prep my beard. I still haven’t been able to get the BBS feeling I want to experience so I decided to get an actual straight razor honed and ready to go. So I sent a vintage C-mon Blackie to a reputable honemeister. I just got it back, and a note was included with the razor that said that it had been honed, and that he had shaved with it and disinfected it. However when I went to shave with it it merely scraped the lather off of my face and did not bite into my whiskers. So I re stropped it and tried to shave XTG, and still it didn't shave. I can only conclude that there is something wrong with my technique. Can anyone give me any advice?
