Needed suggestions and help please.
O.k. , I've been shaving with a Parker Shavette for about two months now with fairly consistent and good results, a few cuts here and there mostly from lack of concentration for brief second. But overal happy.
I decided to purchase a Dovo Astrale from Vintage blades and it was a good price and quick shipment. Of course it was tagged as sharpened by Lynn and such so I was pretty exited this morning thinking it would slice through my two day growth like hot butter! Man I was wrong! I was able to make it through the right cheek and then had to stop and finish with the Parker with no unusual tugging.
i have gotten good at lathering and such and the Shavette worked good. I tried different angles and it did not really change. I did not try to strop on my Illinois 827 because the sticker on the paper that came with the dovo said it was not necesarry.
would my technique be that different from the Shavette to the Dovo? Or would one of got by Lynn somehow ( I hardly think so but we are all human )? Not sure what to think since the only thing I can compare is the Parker. Open to ideas.
