Still, I think I could get it just a weeeee bit sharper. I still feel I have to pull a little excessively to get through my beard - patrticularly the first WTG strokes. I pit this against my Merkur DE that I merely drag across my face using the weight of it. Maybe I am expecting too much of a straight edge?
I want it to slice whiskers off effortlessly... like a first shave on a fresh Merkur DE blade. Realm of possible?
