New Straight Razor Shaver - Need some advice
Hey guys,
So I got me a Dovo 6/8 best quality razor a week ago. (i got a kit with it from vintage blades. - I liked that they actually had razors in stock *cough* SRD *cough* at a decent price as well as honing it before shipping) So far now I have shaved with it 4 times. The razor seems to pull a little to much than I thought (possibly not as sharp as it should be??). I honestly don't have thick whiskers and perhaps I am just timid being a beginner at all. I am not sure what I could be doing wrong. Maybe I need to use a pre-shave, need to strop more or need to get the razor honed again....not sure....but for my stropping I strop 20 times on the prep strop and 40 times on the leather. (while applying as little pressure as possible) As a new straight razor shaver I would greatly appreciate guidance. Thank you in advance.
