Thanks. That make me feel better. A couple of razor burn only a couple of nicks, I don't think I'm doing half bad. Again thanks.

I know it's gonna be some time and effort. I love doing it. I feel better when it all comes together.

I am trying and maybe trying too hard. But im thinking I am using a bad angle. But as far a honing I'm waiting till I get the shave and strop down. You are correct sir. Thanks for your comments.

Thx that's something to think about.

Tried that. Just a complaint on my part.

I want to learn how to hone my own razors. If not I'm going back to safety razor.

Thank you for your help. Still burning though. Ha ha.

No I have not. My beard bothered me so I decided to try a Art of Shaving shave ready razor to the test. Bad deal on my part is what I'm thinking. Not really ready.

I've tried hot towels and preshave oil. This is why I got into straight razor shaving. Can someone help and tell me what I might be doing wrong. I still get razor burn on upper lip and chin.
