From the pics his angle is way too high . That would be my guess as to why it was pulling.
I guess he is more use to a shavette.“The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.”

Thanked: 250My barber uses a shavette too, that's why I won't let him use one of my razors.

I have gotten a shave a couple of times, I never thought to bring one of my own razors for him to use! I can see how it would be difficult with unfamiliar tools, but at least your barber
was willing to try.

Thanked: 250It all depends on the shavette and the blade you have in it. My shavette is an old one made by the L.&A. Razor Co. and most of the time I have to use the thing with the spine and edge both on my face. As the blade gets dull I find myself increasing the angle. At the end of the blade life I'm probably two spine widths away from my skin. I rarely use it anymore, preferring my straights. Hope this helps.
