Thread: Shave test Failure--How Far to drop back?

Isn't Bart's rule of thumb BBW with light slurry for keenness and yellow with water only to smooth it out ? Following that advice I think you should go back to the blue. If a razor tugs and pulls I don't consider it shave ready.

With me a razor like that may shave the hair on my cheeks but I can't suffer through trying to get my chin and mustache with it and will take it back to the hones. You'll have a great feeling of accomplishment when you get it there as well as a smooth shave.
