And I must mention, I got a new Robuso razor, that I honed up to shave ready, again, using the coti and the next time, using the 4k/8k norton.
About a month ago, I breadknifed the DA to decrease the smile just a little bit. Since then, I can not get it to be sticky on the finger nor cut any hair. There vas NO bevel, but I got the DA to a bevel as you can see on the pics.
Maybe the problem is in the razors (robuso and dahlgren)?
I'll try the Robuso today. What if I get it shave ready:(
And I will send the razors to a honemeister.
