Happy Shaving!

I have shaved twice (full shave, with the grain) with the unhoned Dovo. It was quite enjoyable - no cuts, a little rough, but not as bad as a cartridge razor.

However, today, I received a Lakeside Cutlery Co razor in the mail - purchased from and freshly honed by Onimaru55. I thought the unhoned Dovo shave from the past two days was good. Now it's like I've bought a Rolls Royce It's mighty sharp, that's for sure!

I was a tad nervous for the first shave - I thought it would be much harder than it was though. I guess some people have a more difficult time due to their physical features. The hardest part during my first shave was my sideburns. I was holding the razor in a way that was obscuring my vision. After just a couple of shaves, it's becoming more natural though.

You know you're borderline obsessive when you walk through the door after a long day at work - and rather than reaching for a beer - you reach for a razor and have a shave lol!

Cheers,

Aaron.

Yes, I must admit to a little bit of trepidation to shaving with a razor Os restored for me too. Sharpest bloody thing that has ever been put against my skin, that's for sure.
