Thread: I had to try this.

A razor that pops hanging hairs is surely sharp enough to shave a beard. (the "overhoning" exception left aside, but that is not something to worry about with a razor that came straight from Dovo)

I am overall happy about it, being my first time and all.

Congratulations!
You're doing great.
