Against the grain woes...
Newbie here,
Been shaving with for a month or so with a str8. It seems to be working out pretty good.
I come from a HD DE Merkur and went to a Dovo str8 fresh from a honemeister. (Thanks Bart!)
I can get the first two passes -with and across the grain- all right, but when I attempt against the grain: good grief! It seems the blade wants to catch!
So, I am trying to rule out the sources of my woes.
I tried flattening the angle
I maybe too chicken.
Is there a methodology to get through this?
Thanks!
D.
