Thanked: 0Straight Razor not cutting as close as 3 blade catridge
Hi everyone,
So I've been shaving for awhile now, 6 months at least, but I can't seem to get my straight razor to cut closer than my three blade disposable. I had it professionally sharpened when I first starting using it and I've honed it every few weeks using a Franz Swaty to maintain the sharpness from then on, but I always have to finish off my shave with my disposable. Are straight razors simply not going to give as close a shave as disposables or is it something else? If it's relevant, my preshave preparation is usually to shower, lather with Gentleman's Refinery soap(now using much cheaper brand I found at Walmart), let it sit for a little, then shave using hot water to rinse blade.
