Expericenced Str8 user. I picked up a very nice condition Wilkinson Empire 7 day set because I think its cool. I looked at the blades and they looked so so with congealed oil on them. I decided to clean them up, ran them over the hones (they ARE sharp now) and got everything back together.

I decided to give it a try for shaving this morning. I got a DFS on my cheeks but not so good over the chin and under my jaw line. Cleaned up with a straight. Is this a technique thing, limitation of the "bulky mechanism, characteristic of it, or a combination of them? I am not planning on using it regularly but thought it would be a fun experience. If DFS is possible with it, I may be persuaded to work at it a bit more.
