Just want to say thanks to everyone as I've been visiting this site for nearly a year now. My Dad got me my first stright, a Dovo Special and all my over-thinking has come to a end. I kept touching it all day and could'nt put it down, its beautiful. I've shaved twice today and loved it. It felt right, a little intimidating but "right".
We had a bunch of family and friends over and I've never been asked more often "Why would you want that", "Whats the big deal" etc.
I just think you get it or you don't. On to overthinking strops and soaps.
You guys are the best, and here's to beautiful sharp metal...
