Thread: How sharp is sharp?

It has been my experience that there is a sweet spot for sharpness and smoothness. Too dull and the shave is pulling or just skipping over the whiskers. Too sharp and the blade is removing everything in its path including all skin irregularities - very harsh sensation. Those of us who shave daily, the entire face, have learned that sometimes you just want sharp enough, but not too sharp. With experience you too will discover how to keep your razor dialed into this sweet spot.
