    Myles, you are correct. Your razor needs to be honed. A sharp razor cuts cleanly and smoothly. You could send it off for honing, but if you want to learn technique, Bill’s (@Edison Carter) suggestion of the R21 makes sense. You could work on your technique and use the DE blades you already have.

    Awesome Paul! Slow and steady really helps muscle memory and technique.
