First shaves mixed results
First of all I would like to thank everyone here :)
I have been shaving with my new straight (this one http://www.billysblades.com/EL.Razors/1754.htm) for a couple days with mixed results.
My first shave was just horrible I missed a bunch of spots and the spots I did get weren't very close no nicks tho.
Second go I spent much more time making sure I got all the spots this time when I tried to shave my chin the razor didn't want to cut the hair :shrug: I even re lathered and did it a couple more times nicking myself in the process. I was left with a nicked hairy chin.
Third time just a while ago I got my cheeks and neck nicely but the razor won't cut the hair on my chin it either goes right over or if I change the angle just digs in.
Is the razor not sharp enough? Could it be my stropping? I'm getting a 4000/8000 grit stone anyway should I give my razor a few passes?
