I just got a blue belgian and yellow coticule from Howard, arrived quickly and am now loving it!

I have my vintage blades special dovo 5/8 best quality that came honed by lynn, and have been using it 6 days a week for the last month and my face has been burning a quite a bit recently and catching on some of the tougher whiskers.

I did a quick pyramid since I think I rounded the blade as I was learning to strop and now it is awesome, feels like my first shave all over again! it's smooth and cuts right through the beard. I can't wait to hone my flea market blades and start using them now!

these are exciting times learning to shave the good ol' fashioned way!
