Thread: Razor doesn't seem to like me.

First let say thank you very much to all that replied. Especially Lynn and Charles. As they pointed out I have a high quality, sharp razor. So why can't I shave with it? It made me think of when I was a kid working for my Dad, I was swearing at the nails I kept bending trying to drive them in. Dad said "it isn't the nail it's the guy swinging the hammer". So this morning I did my normal prep work and looked at my old lathered up face in the mirror and said to myself "you are looking at the problem". Picked up the Boker and started shaving. Everytime it started to pull or drag I stopped and looked at exactly what I was doing. Then I would change the angle, how I was holding the razor or how I was moving it until it worked. I have to admit it wasn't the nail or razor but the dummy who was using it. I ended up getting a very comfortable and close shave.
There is a lot to learn about this hobby and this forum is a great resource. I would recommend that all beginners spend some time absorbing the knowledge available in the forums.
Thanks again.
Randy
