Hello from SE PA

Hello everyone! I’ve been a wet shaver since 1968, however have had some issues with straight razors which is why I joined this forum. Five years ago I bought a Dovo Special, and ended up giving myself a severe laceration to my right cheek requiring sutures. As a result I learned that I had Parkinson’s. So I put the razor in a drawer and forgot about it. Within the last year I’ve learned that heavier razors work best for me with my neurological issues. About a month ago I strapped two of my wife’s 3 pound ankle weights to both forearms. I then noticed I was able to shave with the Dovo. My straight razor skills have been steadily improving. Just shows that where there’s a will there’s a way, even at age 73.

Wow! I admire your determination. I'm sure there are some things you have learned over the years that can be to a benefit to all of us. Don't think your the oldest member here either. Welcome! I'm sure you'll learn something too.

I am impressed with your tenacity.

Welcome and that's what you called determination !

Thank you all for the friendly welcome! All my life I prided myself on finishing what I start. I learned 50 yrs ago in SE Asia, “engage, adapt and overcome!” I’m just glad the fix worked. I’m really enjoying the journey!
