    Question Kamisori style razor. Not getting a close shave?

    So I got my Henkotsu gold size 2 honed up beautifully by Glen and have used it 3 times now. Each time though I have had to give a final shave with one of my western straights to get a nice clean finish.
    What makes it harder is being right handed and not skilled enough to switch hands is a real pain doing the left side of my face lol.
    The first pass I do is just not nearly as close as my western straights. Its not pulling at all its just not cutting the wiskers down to the skin like I am use to.
    So is it technique or what???
    I need some help here as to what I am doing wrong. Its not the honing, thats for sure. Its all me and I am just not sure where I am going wrong.

    Thanks for the help !!!

    Heres some porn for you guys too
