"11/16" le grelot spartacus with rams horn scales. The box says 11/16 but I measured at 6/8s.

Yeah I have to remind myself DX does not shave like SRs, will look to make adjustments in technique and angles when the razors come in. Thanks guys.

I know it's just me being impateint :gaah:

The troubles were:

The egde was very harsh- confirmed by honemeister.

Not cutting arm hair and hit and miss with HHT - which honemeiester passed just by stropping.

My shave technique with DX...

I feel my shave techinque is good and I have no problems with my lather. My main issues were the razor not cutting my arm hair and the HHT, but my honemeister said he had no problems with after...

I sent it to my honemeister and just received feedback. He said the razor was perfectly honed and was not damaged from my stropping technique. He also did a test shave and agreed that it felt harsh...

ANy point in trying the diamond spray again?

I might just send it out for someone to a honemiester to look at and get feedback.

Yes invisible edge has an excellent reputation. I have no reference point as how well she was honed. I felt the feather AC blades is a significant amount smoother.

I feel my technique is good...

I can't see any shiny spots at all, I shined a lamp directly on it.

I don't know if I'm doing the pin test correctly, it doesn't catch. How much pressure am I meant to apply? I'm wary of damaging the edge further.

It won't even shave my arms hairs. Any suggestions on how to proceed? More stropping with the diamond treated wool felt? I don't have any hones.

Invisibleedge, I emailed them before ordering and they said they honed it. This being my first razor I don't know what shave ready feels like but if it's meant to feel like a feather artisan blade...

Hi guys, no response to in my other thread so thought I'd open a new one. Received a new "shave ready" TI and did not strop, was hit and miss with HHT, didn't think anything of it maybe I was doing...
