2nd: Can't get a real close shave going with the grain; I have really corse hair. I have begun to go against the grain but the blade really pulls against the hair and I get horrible razor burn. I go through all the pre-shave drills (hopefully correctly). I just had my blade (a Dovo 6/8 hollow ground) sharpened but I'm afraid I dulled the edge by stropping the blade incorrectly. Is there a good way to tell?
Finally: Can anyone recommend a place in Dallas to have my blade sharpened.
Thanks,
Jon
