Yes, it's toilet paper from Costco.

Straight razor at the beginning of the article, retested after normal Strop process, with fine hair.
(Strop the surface is naturally dirty without paste.)

After removing the burr, it will leave a vertex, creating a new smooth shaving edge, will not cut the toilet paper, reduce the damage to the skin, pass the edge test of your own habits, and shave smoothly.

Not familiar with toilet paper test. Is that supposed to test the sharpness or presence of burr? Where did you learn that?

Do you do use other stones or the unicot method?

If your edge won't even cut TP, it certainly isn't going to cut MY whiskers. I don't have the world's toughest beard but I know it is tougher than TP.

Maybe your edge will do THIS:

Comfortable, fast as I care to go, even ATG on the first pass on my neck, with a humble Gold Dollar sporting a clunky 18 degree bevel angle, single pass. That's a sharp razor you bet your hiney, my razor IS sharp enough to cut TP with no problem at all. I can do all the parlor tricks with it, too, but mostly I just shave.

I wear glasses full time too but I can't shave with them on, wish I could.

Why not?

I usualy don't shave with my glasses on but if I do the only problem I have is solved by taking them off when I lather so I don't get them full of soap!

I'll give it a try, it would be nice to actually focus on what I'm shaving.

If you want to understand the toilet paper decoupage test, you can watch my video HHT, do it yourself, understand the difference between cutting and not cutting, and experience it by yourself after scraping, don't use imagination to understand things, some things, try, not imagine.
