Thanked: 4Is it possible that absolute sharpness in not always best?
On my sharpest razors I have to hold then at a quite shallow angle. If I hold them out past 30 degrees or so they will dig into my skin like a TPT but on my face. Last night I was watching a video of Lynn's and noticed that he was holding the razor at what appeared to be a 40-45 degree angle. I know that I can't do this without risk of cutting myself with my sharpest razors.
This morning I took my dullest razor that will not HHT or tree top hair, stropped it and shaved. I shaved at a steeper angle than usual and got a very close shave without any tendency for the edge to bite in. It might be in my top 5 shaves.
Has anybody else experienced this? Just another case of YMMV? BTW I am not a Feather DE fan either more of a Voskhod guy.
