    Default I think i fell in love!

    I picked this up from ebay. It seemed sharp. I ran it across paisted strop 8 time. then 50 on the leather. My beard growth was about 3 days. I brought this razor, a W&B that i have shaved with before and got a great shave with. Lastly i brought my new dovo that gave me a "not so great shave" the first time out. I figured ill give the dovo a second chance. Well it sucked the second time out. Needs a proper honing even thought they said it would be shave ready. The the Henckles time. Wow one of the smoothest shave for me yet. Very happy!! No pulling even ATG.

    Dovo Henckles!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats! Glad you found a good one!

    Is the W&B a wedge? Do you have a picture?

    Looks like it is not quite a full hollow ground but its hard to tell as there is quite a few different grinds out there, but the first razor is a true beauty

    Did both purchases come from eBay? Is the badly honed Dovo from eBay as well or a site?
