I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here, both those who asked questions and those who answered them thoughtfully and thoroughly.

I had by first clean, cut-less, razor-burn-free shave yesterday. I had a few that were bloodless, but there was still some razor burn. Then, I got a freshly honed razor. Really rough, and I was getting discouraged. I read a few posts. I then stropped the razor, adjusted my blade angle, and wa la!
Still working on getting a truly BBS shave, but so mush of an improvement I can't say.

Now, I'm looking forward to trying my hand at honing!

Thanks again!

It's good to have you here and I'm glad to hear it's getting better for you. Stick with it and you'll be glad you did.
