Thread: Hello from fulltime RVer

3rd shave in the RV since starting this new ride.

Shave today:

Razor: Dovo 2Bismarck
Soap: Queen Charlotte Vostok Shaving Soap
Brush: VHD Boar Brush

Order:
Nuked for 2 minutes bottle spring water and then set brush in cup.
Wet face down with campground water through RV water heater
Scrubbed with ivory soap
Wet face down to rinse ivory soap off
Drained brush with three quick shakes and started base lather in soap container to load brush
Finished lather on my face. I seem to be able to do this easier then in a bowl, unsure why, working on that.
Did right cheek first, WTG as I am right handed.
Lathered right cheek again, and went ATG
Lathered right cheek again, and went XTG

Got sign off that it is good from the lady.

Left cheek, same process, but not as easy. I am unable to find that magic spot to stand to see myself in the mirror because of how the mirrors are positioned in the RV.

Got sign off that the left is good from the lady.

No nicks, no weepers.

Finished with cheap disposable.

My neck and under chin are worse then my cheeks.

Forcing myself to take my time and learn the blade before I move onto the rest.

I run a goatee, so the upper chin and lip area will be a LONG time down the road.

Thank you all for you advice, and encouragement.

+1 on the Whippedog. The "Sight Unseen" deals are awesome.

A Bismark? That is the perfect one razor solution.. Solid, great shaver. Good choice.

Can you imagine the amount of antique stores/malls you could visit across the country when you live in an RV!?!? You would have to get a trailer just to house all of the razors.

Yup, and I have already started my store runs. Just picked up two with out any real knowledge of what to look for. I will be honest, and the scales are what sold me.

Pics please, we'll tell you if you scored.

Will get pictures as soon as I get an area cleared off enough to do it. Probably tonight or tomorrow. I will also be taking them to the VA get together tomorrow if I am over this cold.

My score:

All Three:


Just the Dovo 2Bismarck (Purchased New):


Fried. Wilh. Engel's (Antique Store Find):


Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlette & Co (Antique Store Find):

wow that's a pretty darn good set to start with! Three very reputable brands.
