Thread: Can razor offended?

So I just shaved with this razor again it was a lot better, more clean, but still it was rough shave and I have irritation and razor burns. As my skin didn't recover completely after yesterday fight I will take short pause till Sunday and then will try my luck again

I have the same sort of problem with a 6/8 Giessen & Forsthoff. Bought it in the US for some reason 2/3rd of the price to be paid in Germany. The razor does not obay me. I don't manage to hone/strop the razor to the point that it is able to give me a smooth close shave. All the others (from (B)reidohr to (W)ade & Butcher and the brands with a first capital letter in the alphabet between the B and W that I own, from near wedge to full hollow) perfom the way they are to do.
And the problem is that I won't give up. The G & F is a razor that keeps on challenging me. I'trying to tame the thing more often than once a week. I'll strop it until I drop. When the latter happens I'll strip the blonde horn scales, bury the steel in my yard in order to dig it up it up a few years later and sell it to an antique vendor as a rusty cultural heirloom. I would't dare to let it lose on Ebay.

I'm almost challenged my razor! But I'm already hone it 3 times! Yesterday I had very clean shave. Shave still was a little rough during WTG but during ATG it was completely perfect. So I decided to give razor good stropping and try it on Sunday (I will have 3 day stubble) otherwise I will negotiate with local honing-master to present during his work, I really want to know what he do to razor what I can't.
BTW during my last 2 honing sessions I'm also had thinking to throw this razor out of my 14-th floor apartment window... but it's present from my wife
