Hi Folks,

I've own couple of straight razors for few months, shaved with some success, but still the shave is not as smooth (but is closer) as I get with DE.

I suspect that can't get them sharp enough, when I hone it (few very light strokes in DMT-E then BBW with light slurry, then Coticule, and no pressure other than the steel weight) it gets sharp.

My stropping is good enough, I could maintain the original edge, I feel it could be sharper, because I have to make some effort and thus get some bumps.

My last idea is to get a Shavette as a reference for sharpness? or is it a whole different animal?

Thanks in advance,
D.
