Erhh.... tonight I thought I'd try the hot towel and I found out I had to do that a bit differently..
I rinsed my face with hot water.. made lather.. more hot water on my face.. lathered up.. hot towel.. so far so good..
Then I had one briljant idea... I thought I could strop my razor (the Dorko) while I had a hot towel on my face... I hit the door of the cabinet with my razors with the edge of the razor... at first it didnt look too bad but when I started stropping some leather got stuck to the razor.. So a very close inspection reveeled a tiny ding on the edge.. So its back to the hone with this dear friend..
I stropped another Razor and shaved (it was a pretty good shave) and told SWMBO that it was good I had another razor to finish the shave.. I guess it will be fine now to buy more razors..
