    Default Hello Everyone from Toronto

    Hello!
    I am new to straight razors. I started usign them 3 -4 mnths ago. I have 3 Stiz 1957 and 1960 i kind of honed them with norton stone, and recently i bough a DOVO (so much bigger and heavier than Stiz that Stiz seemes now like toothpicks). As for strop i am using an old Russian Red Army belt.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Be sure to keep an eye open for Toronto area meet ups, we have a couple a year and they are always great!

    Welcome aboard!
    This is funny, I have all those razors as you do. 2 Stiz and the Dovo.
    I like Russian blades, they might be small, but shave very good.
    If you do not have a finishing stone yet try the chromium oxide film from
