Greetings and great to hear that you have a good time with that dovo. I have ordered one Wade&Butcher from Steve, Invisible edge and it was indeed shave ready and very sharp.
Great service overall and nicely polished blades.
Keep on going and have fun.

Its good to have a cat you can blaim..
Although scratches from cats are way more evil.. those cats should clean their paws before scratching anyone..

The first two or three shaves I finished of with a DE. I had already turned a bit red going over the same spot with the wrong angle over and over again.

I used the DE once more when I was in a hurry and found that the shave with the straight was better.. I guess I've raised my standards of what a good shave is.

Good luck and have FUN!!!
