Some new stuff, DOVO, WACKER, WILLIAMS

Picked these up recently....the Williams is ridiculous. The Dovo is a great everyday shaver, and the Wacker is just really nice to look at (haven't shaved with it yet).

Nah...not done with the knives...yet. I just haven't found any that I'm itching to buy.

Very nice razors, especially the Williams. I had to have a RW too and woooweee - Awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

The Williams razor is sharp as any other razor I have, however I think I need to get used to a 1/4 grind because it can give a little bit of a burn...maybe it's the angle I'm holding it at.

less pressure, the thicker grinds give less feedback thus making you to press more to feel them better.

Thanks for the heads up...I'll give it a try next time. Truthfully the best (most comfortable) is the Dovo Bismark....so far.

It is most likely that you need to adjust your technique to a razor that sharp!

Yeah thats what I'm thinking. He certainly hones them up a little differently than some of the other razors I have had...
