Hi All,
I'm new to straight shaving, wish I would have discovered straight shaving many years ago. Stared with a new DOVO 5/8 with black scales.

Did your Dovo come shave ready? I live in Pompano Beach.

Yes it came shave ready, I did get a 3" strop and did 30 laps before the first shave.
Hi and welcome aboard. You will want to up the strop count to 50 or so. Not stropping enough will let the edge degrade still. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask
I was in the same boat. Didn't start until very late. Just a thought though. Generally with a new shave ready straight razor, it is best to shave with it first before stropping so that you will know what a shave ready razor feels like. This is in the event that a maybe poor stropping technique may dull the sharp razor. Not saying that you don't know how but sometimes a person new to this has not acquired a good technique.
