Hi Everyone, I just become a member today. I just got my first Straight Razor on Christmas from my wife, it's a Dovo 5/8 Black Handle. She also bought me a Dovo 2 sided strop and also a strop balm. I have also made a new thread in the beginners section about some of the questions i have.

i had my first shave today with it and i am very impressed, i didn't strop before shaving as it was "shave ready" apparently so i gave it ago and must say it was very good.

i got tired of the plain razor shaving and thought i'd give something different a try and probably wont go back.

thanks

Steven
