My First Shave / Strop Conditioner
Yes! My Dovo and paddle strop came from thewellshavedgentleman.com today. I had my first cut throat shave; luckily with no cuts. I was thoroughly impressed; nay, I was amazed. I can tell this is going to be a beautiful relationship. Although my first shave was not close at all, I missed patches, and I had some pretty good razor burn, I was none-the-less damn impressed. I attribute the razor burn to 1.) my dry skin today, and 2.) my unsteady hand not keeping the correct angle between the blade and my face.
STROP CONDITIONER
According to the detailed instructions included in my thewellshavedgentleman.com package, strop conditioner is not required. In fact, the anonymous author prefers to never use it, and strongly warns against using too much.
