Hi my name is kenny. I live in the UK near a little town called Liverpool. I have been using a dovo straight razor and I'am really pleased with the straight razor experience compared to the safety razors I have been used to. I purchased my razor from a specialist shop as shave ready, the problem I have at the moment is trying to keep it shave sharp.I have a hanging strop made by dovo and a paddle strop by thiers-issard which I use but I just can't seem to keep the blade as sharp as when I first used it. I can still use the razor to shave with but it is starting to drag and is not as comfortable as it first was. If anybody has any tips or advise on what the usual pitfalls are and could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful. Many thanks.
