Thread: About to try it for first time, but confused . . .

Well I'd have to say....30 degrees...LOL....yea. We need to hunt down the idiot that wrote that 90 degree stuff....I like to use 30 for the first pass and maybe 40 for the second. 90 will have a good shot at breaking your edge. And just for the record EdlinLA, its a perfectly valid question. Many just use two spine widths as a guide to attain 30 degrees. Try and feel a smoothest cutting point, its noisy too, don't let that throw you.

It's cool. I just hope you weren't trying to shave at that hour.

Unfortunately yes! I have to shave at 4:30 am every morning. Makes shaving with a straight almost dangerous! Oh wait....

Maybe the author was just doing the math...30 degrees X three passes = 90 degrees!
