Thread: How do I know if I have messed up my razor

When we say the words "Shave Test" it doesn't mean a full shave it means exactly what we type..
Just like every other "Test for Sharpness" there is a specialized final test..

You have to set up the Perfect prep, as best as you possibly can get a great lather on a well soaked face, then taking as perfect a stroke as you can with the best angle that you can accomplish start at the strong side sideburn and do as perfect a stroke(s) as you can to the jaw line..

That is a "Shave Test" it should almost suprise you with how easy it cuts,, now try the other side,

If this does not cut well STOP !!! Either you are doing something drastically wrong or the edge needs help..There is no sense in going farther until you solve the issue
