4th Shave Oh Thank Heavens
Why oh why did I even mess around with that silly disposable blade thing... :thinking:
I got my package today containing my new Dovo 5/8 half hollow round, GeoF limes cream, GeoF limes skin food, alum block, and strop.
What. A. Difference.
I still look like I came through a chainsaw factory during an earthquake but that is the other razor's fault+my inexperience. The second I touched the Dovo to my wounded flesh I knew it was going to be good. It slid up and down, back and forth did 3 passes even over my razor burns WITHOUT IRRITATING them. The control was much more manageable/forgiving and I gave myself a nice close shave. Finished with Skinfood then alum. No aftershave to speak of. Boy I feel great and whatever isn't wounded from earlier this week looks fantastic. My wife is quite impressed as am I.
Well, that's it, I'm hooked. I can see it now, in a few weeks I will probably have to relocate the dresser to make room for my new collection which I invariably will start. I always knew I liked the straight razor shave since I had a barber do it but having the control yourself to gently tug and shave each hair leaves me feeling very proud/satisfied of a job well done.
I guess you can all say I'm on the "straight and narrow" now (har de har harr)
