so I just got my Hyane 3/8 razor yesterday and did my first shave this morning. The razor was honed but it's very apparent that it needs to be stropped. It seems not nearly sharp enough, especially across or against the grain. I do have far better fine motor control than most so I managed to avoid cutting myself. The thing is, my facial hair is so thick and dense that I NEED to go against the grain the get a smooth shave, otherwise it seems like I haven't shaved at all. I'm still learning to strop properly. I also did a search for a member close to me that may be able to give me a little bit of hands on assistance. If anyone is near welland ontario, please help me out! A second opinion would be phenomenal!
