Just placed my first order with Superior Shave. I'll be watching the mail for a new Dovo Best, horse butt strop, Norton 4k/8k, and some Col. Conk soaps. I'm all excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, if I could just find me a pack of Personna 74*s, i'd be happy :)
Congrats! Expect it to arrive quickly and wicked sharp.
Does the Superior Shave send them shave ready?? I didn't think they were honed, but what do I know?

Jarrod hones all razors he sells, so that would be a yes I guess :)Quote:

Keep us posted on that first shave !!!!
This is a man that's about to be one happy guy. 'Grats for choosing quality. There's learning curve, but you couldn't be in a better place to learn. 'Best help and best attitudes I've found.
You've GOT to post about your first shaves. I guarantee they'll be better than mine. There's a reason Pinklather was an appropriate name. Enjoy!
Aha, the light bulb comes on!!! I didn't get it until you posted that, now it makes perfect sense!! LOLQuote:

Jarrod sent me an e-mail saying not to hone or strop as the Dovo would be ready to go when it got here. The horsebutt strop is incredible looking and feeling...that leather feels so good I just about wish I had me a pair of unmentionables made out of it...just not quite that thick, though :roflmao
I'm working on restoring some older razors so I'll get to try out the Norton soon. My first ever straight shave will be tonight...I just hope I don't show up to church tomorrow looking like I ran headlong into a week whacker. Now I have to decide if I'm going to use the shea moisture brush I've been using, or give that NOS Surrey I got my hands on it's first ever go. Then I've got to decide, do I go with the new bay rum puck, or the lime??? ARRRRRRRRG! Decisions are a pain ;)
I'll keep you guys posted on the shave. Either way, though, here's to Jarrod and some INCREDIBLE service from the Superior Shave :beer1:!
Jarrod rocks! You can chat with him on Skype too, which were a great help for me when I bought a coti from him.
Best of luck with your first shave!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!
First shave down and I think it went pretty darn well. There were a couple of place that gave me trouble and I've got some very slight burn from trying to get them. A couple of nicks, but there were in the same places that a regular cartridge gives me trouble...but I had LESS of them with a straight and not nearly as bad. Not BBS but I'd definitely but it squarely in the DFS category.
Ok, I'm a happy redneck feller from Alabama hehe
Well done !! And after 100 shaves you will see improvements.
Man, it's great to be on the way, isn't it?? I've had more fun shaving in the last 4 months than in the last 40 years... seriously...Quote:

Also got my dad's Shick L-type injector and just got a 40s Gilette SuperSpeed. I'll be pretty well set for whichever amount of time I have to shave. And the good thing is, I have 3 straights that I'm working on restoring.Quote:
