my name is william myers. i live in tyrone pa. i was recommended to check this forum out in blade forums. ive been making blades since 07 but about 2 years ago i finallaly got sick of cartridge prices and inadequate shaves. i talked to my barber about a s.r. and checked out the grooming sub-forum on blade forums. i was pretty happy when i found out about this place. i decided that when i quit the cartridges i was going all the way to s.r. and not the de's i used them as a kid and wasnt that impressed. thats why i went to the cartridges. but once i found out about the shavettee from dovo that i could use to practice shaving untill i get the nessasary equipment and knowledge. i have picked up some nice used dovos and intend to have them professionaly honed and stropped the first time and i have 2 others that arent quite as pretty but are quite satisfactory that im gonna use to learn to hone and strop on first. well i guess thats me and about where im at. sorr if its long winded.
