Hello all,
Until this morning my straight razor experience has been one of perserverance coupled with uncertainty. I had an Edwin Jagger 5/8 which I purchased new as shave ready and knowing that it wasn't really, I also bought a Belgian whetstone. Well I was getting a reasonable shave from this although I felt that something wasn't quite right. Today however I received a Dovo Best Quality from "the invisible edge" and having just shaved with it have been blown away. Undoubtedly the best shave that I have ever had (straight or otherwise), shaving time reduced, no nicks or irritation, just a finish so smooth that it feels like I will never have to shave again. Alright the last claim is probably overboard, but a fabulous shave none the less. So a big thank you to Mr Steve Dempster at the invisible edge, for now I know the reality of shave ready.
Happy days! Ryan
