Onimaru55,

Honestly, I just don't have the technique or frame of reference to know better. I will definitely try that on my next shave (spine angle). I did see a video featuring a sharpness test whereas a single hair was held to a razor edge and split without any pressure. My razor decidedly does not do that. Is that common for a properly sharpened razor ? If it is, then I have much work to do to get my razor that sharp. Perhaps even out of my league.
