First Great Shave off my own honed blade!
All,
Happy to report just got a DFS off a blade I honed all on my own...an old Dovo Best. This thing was cutting hairs like mad, as I checked it periodically. Further, was one of the smoothest shaves Ive had in weeks (also took a couple of days off prior to the shave which might have helped). Only used the DE for under the chin and the upper lip, which have always given me fits regardless of which blade I use.
Great experience to shave off something you sharpened entirely on your own!
