Hi

I'm based in Tokyo, ordered my Dovo blade and strop from SRD before Christmas and am now well into my straight shaving career. No major mishaps as yet, but am worried about my stropping more than anything...have had the feeling that the blade's sharpness has gone off, and wondering whether my poor stropping technique is to blame. It's still good, though, and I'm getting good shaves, certainly up there with my DE shaves (Merkur Futur w/Feather blades). I'll definitely continue with the Dovo...may get another blade later on, but I have to order from overseas, as there's nothing available here.

Looking forward to lurking and posting occasionally in the forums, picking up advice from the experience that's already here

Cheers
Pete
