3 razors and strop arrived yesterday, I thought I'd start with the Aristocrat as I'm in Sheffield.
Felt like it tugged a bit, I did strop before shaving, about 50 on the canvas and 50 on leather. Took my time as I didn't want to roll the edge, no idea if I'm doing it right but it looked like it does in the video's.
So away I went on the cheeks, a lot of audio feedback so it sounded like it was cutting, it felt like it was cutting, and there was hair in the lather as I wiped the blade on the sponge between strokes, but there was still a lot of stubble on my cheeks. Maybe its my technique. I stropped some more post shave, 80 canvas and 80 leather, no weight just letting the blade move up and down. Let's see what it's like tomorrow.
