Sorry to report my first experience with SRD was not the best. I'm pretty sure the Dovo 5/8 razor was not shave ready. I stand to be corrected, but I could not get even one pass to cut. I returned the razor for SRD to review. My technique could not be that bad?? Does anyone have any experience with "Hart Steel" American made razors?

I haven't even started using a straight yet. I have 4 straights that need touching up and I need to complete the hardware acquisition of stones and a strop.

You may want to wait till after the meet to get stones. You can probably sample a few there and see what you like. Originally Posted by GeorgeX

SRD did promptly return my Dovo Straight 5/8 razor with a better edge than the original send. I'm back in business. Todays first shave went well, but I have a long way to go. Still working the easy areas, but getting a little more adventuresome. Can't wait until the January 14th meeting.

My experience with straights before my first Denver meeting was sketchy. After, I was MUCH better. Hang in there. It does get better!

Demetrius, Do you shave with the straight every day? If not, how many time per week? Originally Posted by Demetrius
