Hello all. This is not a new topic and it has been discussed many times. I have two razors I use most often. I have an old Joseph Allen and Sons that I have honed myself. I find it gives very comfortable shaves. It is my workhorse. I also have a professionally honed Keen Kutter from Phil at the classic edge. My razor is not as sharp as the one he honed. I am not professional but I find that the blade I bought from him is almost too sharp in a sense it is less comfortable then the razor I have honed. I know it is all personal preferences because he did an amazing job at honing. I just find it is too sharp. Which leaves me to use it only on special occasions. What are your thoughts on the matter. I don't know what he used to hone his razor but I used a Belgian coticule on mine using the Unicot method. I was reading through http://straightrazorpalace.com/honin...tml#post263073 (I couldn't figure out how to get that into just the thread name) and found some people do think a razor can be too sharp. I also agree with some of them. To me at a certain point a razor is just too sharp. Could it be the coticule leaves a softer edge then synthetics? Could the softer edge just agree more with my skin? I also don't use Crox after I hone. What do you guys think, it is making me wonder...
