Questions about bevel and shave test
The first question I have is about a razor I honed myself. It shaves very smoothly but I can not seem to get nearly as close a shave it then with my professionally sharpened razors. Would this be caused by an improperly set bevel, maybe the angle is off or it is uneven? The second question I have is about the shave test. I have watched several videos on this and was a little curious about one aspect. In the videos I have seen it is done on the cheek, but even my AoS dovo out of the box could do this. Where a razor is really tested for me is the upper lip. A razor that will shave my cheeks smoothly will not necessarily shave my upper lip. So I am wondering if there is a modification to the test that will account for this?
