Thread: Another newbie here

Hi! Fellow noob here. Only suggestion I can make is to buy a truly "shave-ready" razor or get someone who really knows what they are doing to sharpen one for you. Not only will this be cheaper than buying a razor plus hones, it will also teach you what a really sharp blade is like.

I know this is good advice because I failed to follow it!
It took me ages to hone my factory-fresh Dovo to give a decent shave, and even now it has a long way to go. For now I'm going to stop obsessing about sharpness and work on my shaving technique, but will buy another razor (shave-ready this time) for comparison soon.
