Thread: New dovo won't shave comfortably.

Next chance you get read Glens(gssixgun special) signature before you go buying more stones. Tc

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the info. Just learning sly the jointing maneuver has improved my finish by leaps and bounds. Plus I finally got my hands on a nice strop. Previously I was using possibly the world's worst leather strop. I do really like the flax canvas strop I made myself. It works really well. I guess I didn't think in the beginning that the leather quality was very important. With just those two changes, I had my first completely irritation free straight razor shave today.....6 months later...sheesh.

Yup, it will only get better, stropping technique and a quality strop will improve your shaves. Most folks take a year or so before their stropping is improving their edges.

So, a year from now your shaves will be vastly better, even if you did not buy any more equipment and just mastered what you have.

What do you mean by "sly the jointing maneuver?"

I wanna know that too! My guess is, it's an autocorrect fail.

Ron, you need a txt interpreter app.

Wouldn't do me any good. I don't have an itunes account and I've never bothered to learn how to download an app.
