Back within the Fold in the Scottish Borders
Fellow Users !
After a period in the wilderness of inadequate cartridge razors I have returned to the Fold. I had enough of shelling out a fortune for modern cartridge blades which lets be honest ar'nt the best of close shaves. I bought a new basic cream handled Dovo from Trumpers whilst down in London for the Trooping the Color this June. I had in the past used a Chinese straight razor bought on holiday but could never realy get an adequate edge or subsequently decent shave with it.
The Dovo is superb and I have recently bought various vintage razors on ebay which I am restoring. I have just bought a Wapienica complete with hone and strop direct from Poland and would be grateful for any information on them. The one thing I picked up from the seller in Poland is that they are made of Swedish steel ?
I would be glad to hear from anyone out their especially anybody local ! I tell friends and colleagues of the advantages of using the straight razor and the relaxing start it can make to your day.
Kind regards
Reiver
