Thread: Razors and my beard

The grind of the razor will have very little impact on the final outcome. You can play with the angles a bit, slightly increased with each stroke to see if it "bites", that will tell you if it's an angle issue. Since you have 1+ year experience you probably already know this and I'm going to rule out technique issues, so I'm thinking it's a sharpness issue. Sounds like they aren't shave ready. Keep in mind that a razor that cuts arm/body hair effortlessly doesn't necessarily translate to a shave ready blade.

i kind of disagree with that statement ryan. yes you can get the same results from any quality razor, but you have to adjust a bit. i have always thought that variety is there for a reason other than looks. you could be right about the razors not being shave ready. ecd did you strop before using? did the invisible edge suggested not to strop? some places will strop and tell the user not to strop i would suggest following their advice.
