Hello from melbourne australia
Hi all,
Shaving is now a joy. Ive been shaving with a straight once a week for about 5 months and im lovin it. Ive had a few knicks and the occasional dot of blood through the skin where there doesnt seem to be a cut, but i figure its all part of the experiance. I started off with a Dovo best value 5/8 for about a month, and was enjoying it. I got a bit of pulling and wasnt geting a real close shave but was none the wiser as it said it was shave ready and i was getting a decent shave. Then i bought a TI Historic 7/8, because i had to have another and whitch i belive came shave ready. My first shave with the TI left me with dots of blood every where and a face so smooth it felt like someone elses. Ive been shaving with the TI exclusively since and only get the occasional spot of blood, but still get a super smooth shave. I strop before and after each shave and think im doing it right. Although i have knicked the strop a couple of times when ive tried to go to quick. I have just ordered a norton 4k/8k water stone and will try my hand at honing my Dovo to get a beter shave out of her, and maybe touch up the TI as it is starting to pull a bit. All in all, im hooked.
Now i just want more knowledge, more expiriance and of cource more razors.
Cheers
