Thread: Not sure what the problem is?

Then, I honed another razor the same way as the one that glided, and it did not glide, so I wondered why.

As it turns out, though, it seems like I may have been doing a little too much wondering a little prematurely. For the first razor, since it shaved great today, it seems it WAS shave ready, but since it was my first shave, I a) didn't know what to expect, and b) had bad technique. The second razor was probably a fluke that it was honed so well, and the third razor is probably the norm until I get my honing down pat.

Sorry everyone that I've now started babbling and worrying/wondering so much over my newbie discoveries and explorations

Not to worry,

This is quite normal around here!!
