Not so with the wakami_ I just cannot get it sharp enough.
I guess it is instinctive to me as well to chop, chop along; to which i might point to the feedback. It's just not the feedback of a clean shave; which then feeds the instinct to re-do. So I end up going over, going over, going over, working my way to get what should have been cut the first time; imho.
It could be an angle thing which causes to much left behind, but I really do not believe that to be the major aspect.
what do you guys think?
