Razors and my beard
Hi again I think I need some advice here I have been shaving with shavettes and straight razors for over a year now. At first I had no problems with angles etc with my feather/Parker Shavete razors I thought I had the angle right cause I was getting a good shave with them. Well I decided to go a step up and go for the proper Straight razor I Looked on all the sites and in the went to "Invisible Edge" I got a Nice Dovo Razor Gave me a great shave I stropped it after shaving and the next time I used it Still a great shave so I knew I was doing the Stropping Ok So now I thought shaving angle good Stropping Good. so I thought lets start collecting a few razors so i brought 2 on e bay one was a " Taylors 1000 & a " Hamburg Ring" Extra Hollow Ground.Once I got them I sent them of to "Invisible Edge to be honed & sharpened and the blade cleaned when I got them back I was very happy with the work so I stropped both of them on the leather to get ready to shave checked the blade with my finger and to me they where very sharp. So I lathered up on my 4 day old beard used one of the razors starting from my side burns going down my cheekbone to say I was disappointing is a understatement it never hardly took any of my faced hair off I had to go over the part 3 times with the grain atg etc it had got rid of the hair but did not feel baby smooth it was also the same with the other razor as well. I tried shaving with warm water cold water I tried both razors on my arm/chest hair cut that no problem So what am i doing wrong I know when using my dovo razor i can feel the sharpness of the blade against my face but with the other two I do not. Is it the blade the shape of the blade or is it the angle I am shaving with these two razors or what I can seem to a good shave with my Dovo Special Fine so why not the other two Please Help get this sorted I must be doing something wrong but what????
