Thanked: 5Bevel issue? Or what?
So I am still pretty new to this so I could really use some help right now. When I got my SR I got a norton 4/8k so that I could hone it myself instead of paying someone every couple of months. It took me about 4 or 5 tries but I finally got the edge pretty nice to the point where it was a comfortable and pretty close shave. I Know there is still some technique issues but I think I might have a bad bevel.
The past week or, Like I said, I finally had some pretty good shaves and the razor felt nice and sharp. However today one side of my neck is significantly closer than the other. (I have a full beard on the face so I really only shave my neck and clean up the cheeks a bit.) Is it possible that this is a bevel issue? That one side of the razor is sharper than the other?
Although I know my technique isn't the best right now, I doubt that this is a technique issue. I say this because the side that is closer is the side that I am less confident with. I have more nicks, and close calls on this side than the other. I am often correcting my angle on this side so that the razor glides smoothly.
If this is a bevel issue is there any suggestions to helping with this? When I set my bevel I do a set of circles with each hand to try to avoid a biased edge (better on heel or toe). Could this be worse for me? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
