When you get your newly honed razor back, you should do several things for reference:
- gently shave some arm hair, noticing how little angle you need and how easily it shaves
- very gently place the pad of your thumb against the edge, noticing how it feels "sticky" if you move your thumb at all
- shave without stropping first, trying to use the least amount of angle possible (a slight scything action helps)
For what it's worth, you should never need to raise the angle of your blade and scrape the hairs out. Raising the angle dulls a razor faster, too, especially if it feels anything like scraping.
