Thread: A frame of reference?

If you can feel the blade doing its job, it's not as sharp as it should be.

Improving your shaving technique goes a long way in determining what a sharp razor feels like.

Have fun.

My first really sharp razor had no feeling at all. It was wiping lather from my face and the whiskers were rolling up and darkening the foam without any sense there was a blade cutting. The memory sticks with me and every shave gets compared to that experience. One element was the technique I had developed but when I used a different razor the differences were astonishing.

Own at least one blade which someone has prepared truly shave ready.
