Please Help. Terrible Shaving Experience.
I used to use a straight razor with disposable blades. I got fairly adept at shaving with it and decided to purchase a DOVO SS straight razor. It came and I tried to shave with it. it wouldn't really cut my wiskers it just tugged on them. I figured it wasn't sharp enough so I tried to hone it myself but wasn't impressed with my performance so I sent it off to Lynn Abrams. The razor came back sharper but didn't pass the hanging hair test (not sure if it really matters). This is the only straight razor I've used other then the disposable and since I sent it to Lynn I can only assume that it is as sharp as it's going to get. It still only tugs on my wiskers. I've tried all different angles and when I only have stubble it doesn't really cut it. I've tried a light touch and applying pressure. Nothing seems to get the job done. I wound up going back to my mach 3 to finish the job. Any suggestions? I do have fairly thick hairs but I imagine that a well honed straight razor would get through them. I'm confused. Please help.
