I've read every post on this and details in the library and now I'm confused!!
I can't use the TPT as my pads are to hard.
I've tried the TNT and thought that I'd got it right, but now I'm not sure. If I put the blade edge on my thumbnail and try and draw it across the nail on a blunt edge it just glides straight over. When I believe the bevel has been set if I then try and draw the blade across the nail it bites and grips the nail. I thought this meant the bevel had been set but now I'm not sure. I think maybe I should be honing some more at this stage.
I've tried everything else and I think this will work for me. Now if I shave with a razor that I've tested like this after moving through 3000, 5000, 8000, 12000, CROX, and strop the shave leaves me with stubble. So some help would be appreciated. I would also mention that after testing on the 1000 I do another 6 laps and then don't test again.
Also I now have no arm hair to test on but when I did if I put the blade against the skin after the 1000 as you would do if you were shaving your face it cuts hair but not if you brush the blade through the hair but above the skin.
Thanks
