Stick with one or rotate?
I'm about to receive my AOS Dovo back from honing, possibly later today (thanks, Lynn!). I've been using a Boker Tree Brand which I purchased in shave-ready condition and have been using since sending out the Dovo.
I'm still beginning, with just a few (maybe 12) shaves under my belt and am wondering whether to start alternating between the two razors or whether it would be better to set the Dovo aside and continue with the Boker until it is in need of honing and then switch. Both blades are the same size & shape (4/8 round, if memory serves) so it's not really a question of getting confused by the blade. I think my stropping technique is pretty good (I'm doing 25 strokes each way on linen and then on leather) and I'm having no trouble at all taking off whiskers with light pressure and leaving behind good smoothness in WTG passes.
Let the debate begin.
