Harsh edge on freshly honed razor
Quick question for everyone:
I just restored a Torrey razor that had a few chips in the edge. I used Glenn's method for fixing this as outlined in a recent thread. Started with a high angle on my DMT 325 and then went to my Shapton set of 1K, 4K, 8K, 16K, .5 diamond on hard felt, scrub leather stropping, smooth leather stropping, shave test. Here are my findings:
This may be the sharpest edge I have ever shaved with. It mowed down 4 days of growth with zero pressure. That said, the shave did not feel great. I wouldn't call it tugging or pulling. My face wasn't torn up or irritated either. It just sort of hurt, despite being probably cleanest 2 pass shave I have ever had. The hair was mowed off my face with such ease, but the feeling was odd not not enjoyable at all. It sort of stung for lack of a better word. Not a single nick or weeper but really uncomfortable.
What causes this, and how can it be corrected? I have never had this experience so all suggestions and thoughts are welcome. Thanks.
