Hello all,

I have just bought my first straight razor (before reading here), and it is a solingen mehaz proffesional. While after some honing and work, it will shave, but its not very comfortable, and seems to be pulling at the hairs. I have it where it passes both of the thumb tests with flying colors.

So, I was looking at buying a new razor and came across this one, its a little over my price range, but was wondering if this would be a good razor for a newbie? Thiers-Issard Straight Razors

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
