Hello everyone,

I don't get to do much on this site since just reading the threads gives me answers before I even had a question. But I could use some help now. First I am 40+ shaves in. I have 2 razors, One used a Sheffield that I bought here with about 25 shaves in and one new Dovo that I bought at a reputable source with about 15 shaves in.

1st - both razors feel different, is that a thing? I dont know how the Sheffield was sharped, I'm pretty sure it was done top notch, I bought it from one of the moderators on this site, and the Dovo was sharped on a cuticle.

2nd - I'm tempted to say, actually I am saying the Sheffield feels better. is that a thing, different stones, different results?

3rd - I am having trouble with my stopping technique. I use a SRD paddle strop. I have no problem going up the strop, but when I come down(back), I cannot keep my thumb in place, to lay it flat coming down my thumb rolls to side of the spine. its seems from all the videos and articles your hand needs to be able to do a 180?

4th - Diamond sprays I just used the sprayed strop on the Dovo 1 or 2 shaves ago and can't tell difference

thanks Guys,

Mafuzul
