Hi all I have been shaving with a safety razor for about a year and recently switched to a Dovo shavette. I have a straight razor and strop kit coming from Whipped dog and plan to learn to hone as well. I tried a straight razor a number of years ago and had bad luck, I have since discovered it was sold to me unhoned and that was the cause of my discomfort. I look forward to enjoying proper straight razor shaving for the first time.
