Statistical attainment of shaving nirvana?
Hello str8 razor shaving friends,
Even if agreement is reached on some experimental parametres, doubt may be expressed if such methods will ever lead to shaving nirvana. They may narrow the number of paths but the climb seems formidably steep and arduous. Other variables like air humidity, temperature, stropping pressure might also skew the feedback, leading the shaver to stray off one of the numerous experimental paths.
What about just relaxing into shaving nirvana?
My experience is that immediate sense feedback during stropping is vital. Turn the mind volume down, relax and identify with your fingers and ears. When the str8, after just gliding, intensively caresses the strop and mates with it, shaving sharpness is attained.
Greetings,
