This is my first post. Been reading a lot or good information on the forum. Thanks to all who posted. Been straight shaving for about 4 months. Been doing okay on shaving and stroping I think. Honing has been a challenge . Bought a Norton 220-1000 and 4000-8000 set and 1200 naniwa.I use three razors in my rotation. Two dovo's and a thiers . Gave them a freshening yesterday (so I thought) . Got the razors to pass the hanging hair test. Took some stropping to do it. Tried shaving with one today and a very harsh Un comfortable shave.How can it pass the hanging hair test an not shave nice. Hope this post is not too long winded. Thank you for your help. 8
