Hi guys,
I am a beginner to using a straight razor but I have always been intrigued after seeing my brother use one. I had to buy a Torrey Razor, 1 because it looked to be in good condition and it was cheap (I am a college student, low funds) and 2. Because I am from Worcester, MA where these were made. It is "The Artist" model and I love it just purely because it is from Worcester and it is Simple. At first I thought the tugging and rough shave was just my inexperience but I am about a month in and I figured I would have gotten a closer shave by now, then I tried my brothers brand new dovo razor and got the best shave of my life. Does this mean I need to get my razor honed? And if so how much does that usually cost and where should I get it done? Any other tips are always welcome and appreciated.
Thanks
