    Default Honing problems

    I guess you are right, too many things which could be going wrong and not enough info to guess.

But the operator didn't take anyone's advice, then said thanks at the end. So, who knows? lol.
    I did take advice - can't remember who it was, but someone said to change the angle of the razor on my skin. That did the trick, and i posted that it did. I am treating this like an experiment, in that I have two razors both honed by this company. I have now had two satisfactory shaves from one razor, and will send this off to another member on here who has promised to hone it for me so I can see the difference You never know, the newly honed razor might give me an even better shave, but then it might not, in which case i need to practice my technique.

    Thanks to all that have posted and helped out sorting the problem. It is really appreciated.

    My bad. You did mention a change of angle. I just missed it somehow.

    Hi guys. One more update. Just had the new best shave of my life. One of the members here, (shall remain nameless for now, dont want people hounding him) told me to send him ne of my razors for him to hone. He did so for free, and i just had a shave with it, and it was awesome. I will say that part of it feels like its my technique getting better, but most of it was down to having a sharp blade. Thanks especially to him, and thanks to everyone that has commented. xx
