When you do it so long you have several ways to tell if the razor is ready.

Thanked: 315He could also have smooth legs and a bald St Bernard in his back yard!
Funny thing is though, you really couldn't go by arm hair anyway since it is easier to shave than facial hair.

Thanked: 168I learn the basics from Lynn videos years ago .Unfortunately they are purely made for newbees and totaly unexperienced honers .
Lately when i had enought practice i watched a Glen videos and they are made for more advanced people .No basics , just a pure tactics for honing diferent kind of edges on diferent stones - videos for medium level .
Advanced levell dont need videos hehehe. Anyway i like Glens video with the roling strokes and wedge grind blades , as it solve a lot of problems .Even an entirely straight blade needs rolling or X strokes to evaluate the edge at the tip and at the heel .

Thanked: 0Want to add my debt of gratitude. I watched his shaving videos numerous times as I was considering transitioning to SRs from cartridges. Once I bit the bullet, I watched them again numerous times before and after my first 5-10 shaves. Thanks Lynn!

Same here
Lynn, Gssixgun and Bart are the ones I learnt from the most
Bart taught me how to hone on a Coticule and how to properly strop a razor in his kitchen, that was a great in-hand experience, it's that little personal coaching you can't teach via videos, my focus-point was mostly on how to strop properly.
Videos have made it 100 times easier to learn and have made it a relative easy thing if you're using a synthetic progression.
Needless to say this forum has been a go to place for any kind of razor related problems and pretty much anything gets solved while working together with the great members of this forum,
shave on brothers!
