Thread: Noob Question: Butch Harner "Grasshopper" seems to have a sticky edge

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and to straight razor shaving. I've been using a Dovo Shavette for a while and decided to treat myself to a new razor for Christmas, a Butch Harner "Grasshopper" from Classic Shaving. I love the look and feel of it, but it seems to grip my whiskers when i'm letting it slide down my face... I feel like the only way to get it to go, is to give it a little nudge and then i'm intimidated by it, because i'm worried I'll fillet my face off.

I haven't tried to sharpen it or anything (I paid $20 to have it done before it shipped to me), but I did by a strop and conditioner along with it.

Should I give it a shot???
