First hone/shave with new razor
Hello,
I just bought my first real straight razor. It is beautiful! I tried to shave with it but it does not seem very sharp. I bought Lynn's DVD and watched it throughout. I attempted to hone and strop the razor to get a nice sharp edge to it. However it did not seem to really make much difference. I went and finished my shave with my Dovo Shavette. I am not sure what I did wrong to not sharpen the blade to a nice edge. I am a little bummed that the new razor did not really get to where I wanted it to be. Could someone please give me a little advice/encouragement on the honing of a new blade.
Thank you! :confused:
