Its not the honing, the razor is perfectly sharp at all angles. I know what I'm doing, thanks.
I only get a DFS rather than a BBS in the same two places. Left and right sides of my chin. Right at the edges. Rather annoying to have to go over it again half an hour after I shave when I realize I didn't quite get it perfect.

Yeah. Its my achilles heel. 80% of the time I get BBS there, but sometimes I miss. Originally Posted by hi_bud_gl
