Has anyone else owned/used one of these TTO razors? It seems no matter what I do or what blade I put in mine, the damn thing wants to take lumps out of me. I use all sorts of razors in my rotation from vintage OC, old Tech and Ball End Gillettes, Futur, EJ87, ER1912 SE to name a few and always get good shaves now I've found my favourite blades (Nacet, Astra SS, Silver Blue). Today I though I'd give it another chance. I did my hot shower usual prep and used a glycerin soap pre shave wash and TOBS Sandalwood soap, a tried and tested formula for me. I faced lathered, loaded a Nacet into the Parker, did a gentle WTG pass and hey presto, my neck looks like a raspberry muffin. I'm sure it's not my technique and it's definitely not my prep or soap.
When I bought it a while back (on a whim it has to be said) I knew it was a bit more aggresive than some of my other razors but I didn't expect expect the equivalent of a cheese grater on my throat. Any ideas before I consign the thing to a 'Buy It Now' £12 free P&P posting on a well known auction site!
