Hi,
2 days ago, my 6000 grit whetstone came in and I decided to sharpen my razor. I unfortunately held the razor at too high of an angle when sharpening. I did not rest the razor on it's spine. I got a very bad shave from it. Yesterday, I spent about an hour and a half honing the razor correctly with the spine down. I then shaved with it, but did not get much better of a shave. Now I know I'm only using a 6000 grit stone, but it shouldn't be this bad. My razor won't even pass hht when I FORCE the hair on the blade.
I'm 19 and can't grow a full beard yet. The only thick hair I have is on my chin and under my nose. Now the razor does a descent job at cutting the fine peach fuzz on my cheeks and even the thick hair under my nose where my muwtache would be, but it will not cut the hair under my chin. My gillete razor does a better job.
Now my qustion is this: was an hour of honing not wnough to correct the damage I did?
