Welcome to the world of straight shavers. Dovo is a good razor to start with. I would suggest as I always do to watch as many straight razor shaving videos as possible before you start. There are many folks with videos on straight razor shaving. to get started just type in Lynn Abrams straight razor shaving youtube and that'll get you there. not only will it show him but others I can't remember. Someone else has already said that the factory ships the razors supposedly shave ready but for me I would make sure and ask the folks you bought it from if they had it pro honed before it shipped. That will make a world of difference. If not the classifieds here will give many names of good hone masters. Welcome again.

Never heard of a 30 degree strop before. ...

thanks, guess i might have to find someone to hone it.

thank you.

Thanks for the info. Have watched several videos including Lynn Abrams. Still a little apprehensive though.... Guess I have to jump in with both feet at some point.

For me it was easier then some I went from de to shavette to SR .... so eventually yes both feet have to hit the water ...he does a great tutorial about 30 minutes long covers correct angles really well
