Hey Guys
So I went into my local pharmacy today. I asked the pharmacist if he had Alum. He checked to see if he could order it and we started talking about straight razor shaving. Apparently, this gentlemen ordered a very nice Dovo years ago, but it was the factory edge and it only caused pain and frustration. So it sat in a drawer lonely and cold. He asked where I get my razors sharpened...I've been honing some of my own razors and my skills are improving. I'm able to get a very comfortable edge. I will be putting his Dovo through the hones for him. I also decided I'm going to lone him one of my shave ready razors to use until I get his ready to go.
It's the least I can do considering all that you guys have done for me. You guys have been so kind and informative. This is truly the nicest group of people I've ever encountered in an internet community. I directed him to this site and hopefully another will be preserving our cherished lost art.
