Morning All,

Just wanted to give a quick up-date on my progress.
I have a new Dovo Special Tortise, been shaving for 5 days. This morning was the best shave to date!
Some observations:
My shaving technique/confidence has been building daily.
My stropping has improved dramatically. I usually strop 25X on the linen side, and 50X on the leather side with a Dovo strop prior to each shave.
Last night, I gave the razor 10 passes on my Chinese polishing stone.

I think I'm really going to like straight shaving, and I look forward to my skills improving on a daily basis.

I welcome all comments and suggestions.

Enjoy the day.

Gary
