Then soaked with a hot flannel 3-4 times then applied a thick lather of taylors of bond sreet rose soap then set out to start shaving with the direction of the hair growth....
I've just had the razor since xmas & this is the 1st time its been used since it's been sent off to get honed b'coz it wasn't shave ready....
It really hurts its cutting the hairs but pulling at the same time I tried the hht & it didnt work!!!.Have I got a cheap razor? Or is it me?,I shave with a 20% angle with about 2-3days growth of beard I also rinsed my face with cold water then applied the alum block over my face,WOW! It did half hurt....I'm really upset & feel let down as I was hoping this could be a pleasurable time but alas!!.I have heard that a razor can take a while before it's "Bedded in".
Please help on what I should do.
Thanks

Tough it out buck•o-)

What razor do you have? Have you asked the person who honed it their advice? I'd start with the second and see what he has to say.
