So... my Dovo Stainless isn't my favorite razor anymore. Larry at Whipped Dog sold me an old beater that shaves AWESOMELY and so, armed with it, I decided that this morning I would try removing my goatee (chin only, left the stache).

IT WORKED GREAT!

Shower, whipped up some überlather with my HIS synthetic... totally bathed the goatee in it and slathered it on my face before I stropped... came back, remoistened, relathered, went in and...


like butter!

WOW! IT was so easy! No, I'm sorry, shaving with a cartridge was NEVER this easy. Now, it's taken me about 4 months to get to this point that I felt comfortable trying this stunt out, but NO MORE trimming first before removing facial hair for me!

Now, I will admit, were this with my Dovo Stainless, it would not have been as smooth, and I don't know why. It was honed at the same time as the beater was by Larry at Whipped Dog, but it seems to snag and pull more. The damn fine shaver beater just went rght through it confortable and smoothly.

How I WISH I'd learned to shave like this earlier in life!

Cheers!
