Hello fellow members,
Bought a nos Tosuke and cant get it to shave smooth. The raozr pulls on every whiskers and it feels like an angry samurai is individually pulling on them.

So I tried to shave with the hollowed side and it feels unnatural. Should I hold it with the flat side against the skin. I am right handed and trying to shave with the hollowed out side with the writing makes it feels like I should be left handed and I know it cant be right.

A shaving video would be most helpful. Lastly, the honing ratios on here are anywhere from 3:1, 3:2 and 7:3. So, which is the right one

Regards,

Dom

P.S. The .3 micron lapping film will make my Western razors the sharpest i have ever seen and they always pass the HHT
