Thread: bad shave

had yet another shave that let me down bad. I also think that I have two chipped razors. I have a norton combo 4/8K stone coming, and I am trying to fix up a swaty. Once again I am looking for some advice and encouragement. I am going to tend my face.

Also, I bought a strop from a member here that is showing some nicks and am wondering if this could be the cause of a poor shave. It is a horsehide barber strop. It is my first hanging strop and I like it alot better than the paddle. It fits almost the entire razor. I ordered the stone from Howard at theperfectedge.com. I read on here that it came flattened. Can anyone attest to that? Here are some pics of my wapienica and strop. The razor has a small chip right in the middle. Maybe to small to see here. I smudged it up with my finger close to where the chip is. What I think is a chip








Ill talk to you guys tomorrow.
