Thread: NEED ANSWERS

I would suggest that the first point of call be the person who did the honing for you and let them know about the problems that you are having.

Ask them to take another look at the razors and see if they can tweak the edges for you.

For what it's worth, I started on a Kreigar (Junk razor) sharpened like a pocket knife... It shaved (not close at all) without any irritation. Then I moved to a real straight (Sharpened like a razor) and my first shaves, though close, burnt like Hellfire. Could be technique, pressure, having a sharper edge variant... Or it could be the honing in question... Call the honer, see what they say, and examine your technique.

Good luck!

Cheers,
