    Default New User of a DOVO Stainless SR

    All,

    I recently tried to use a straight razor after using a DE razor for over 6 months. I purchased a Dovo stainless #41 along with a hanging strop and paddle strop. I had the sr8 professionally honed and have tried using it on several days (20+).

    I've been paddle stropping the sr8 every morning before trying to shave with it getting very unsatisfactory results.

    I want to master the sr8 as I've mastered the DE!

    Help! I'm looking for a mentor in the Reston, VA area who could assist me in stropping and shaving with the sr8.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chuck

    Hi Chuck, and welcome to SRP!

    You might want to try sending a PM to LegalBeagle. He is in Alexandria which I believe (unless Google Maps is fibbing) quite close to Reston.

    You can also add your location to your profile which will make it more visible to others.

    Hang in there - it gets better with time and practice, and you're doing the very best thing in searching for a local mentor.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.
