Hi,

nearly a year ago I got my birthday present, a Dovo Solingen model 1516, I started using it but I do not know if it's my face shape or abilties but I cannot get a "perfect" shave as I have with my desechable 5 blade guillette.

Some months later I inherited my grandpa Guillermo Hope Solingen model 14, it is a 60s blade in good condition, in fact after using the razor-strop I think that it is in a shape comparable to the Dovo.

Finally I was able to buy a C.V. Heljestrand number 29, it was a 60s blade, unused, that I bougth in Paris. This is an smaller blade but I felt that the shaving with it was better.

Obviously my skills need a lot of improving but I am guessing if the Dovo Solingen was a quality blade or should I invest in something better. I also welcome any newbie advice.

Regards,
Juan
