I have a suspicion that I'm just getting better at shaving with an OK edge. I get a fantastic shave on everything above my jaw line and chin. Not that my neck area is lousy but I have weird growth pattern that I haven't quite nailed down, but I'm good with it for now. My concern is that I'm just getting good with what I have and if there are things I should be cautious of when I get one of my razors honed by a honemeister. I don't want to go about using the same technique which has gotten me great results with a razor I've been honing myself, if its going to end up starting me all over again. Or maybe my honing skills are better than I give myself credit for. Like I said when I finally break down and send one out to a pro I'll have a basis for comparison. Thoughts are much appreciated.
