That's odd. In general the ATG stroke requires a LOWER angle.

Bill, it's the same one sharpened at the meet up.

Utopian, I know. That's what's got me so stunned. It's working for me though.

well if it was honed at the 'Gathering' i will vouch for the work..i had one touched up myself...we all tend to blame the tools..lets look from another angle...face prep...im a big believer in face prep.....if your results vary then maybe your routine was off or different, if your shaving technique and stropping hasnt changed maybe your face prep has....just another idea to look at......maybe it will help maybe not but definately worth a look.

Great advice above too guys....rgds, Simon

I think my stropping was wrong. I changed my technique up and now I'm getting bbs shaves at the proper angles with no pressure or irritation. I shaved yesterday and probably won't have to shave again till tomorrow(not to happy about that as I love to shave).
