So that's what a sharp razor feels like.
I've been using a TI that I wasn't really happy with, I've decided that I was never able to get it really sharp. It has been sent to Randy for a proper honing. In the interim I bought this razor shave ready. The difference was amazing. It could just be that it is truly sharp, but I like the heavier razor. I'm anxiously waiting for my TI to come back to me so I can compare the two.
easiest thing in the world

Hold a hair (freshly cleaned works best for me) in one hand. I hold it horizontally, much like the picture in Randy's signature. SLOWLY, bring the freshly stropped blade up through the hair at about the 1 or 2 cm mark. Sometimes a slight movement toward the tip of the blade or the heel at the same time as it moves up will produce a result (popping the hair) that a straight up motion won't. That doesn't mean that NOT moving the blade in a cutting motion is the wrong way, but that the blade could be sharper.
