I have been using some older razors that I had cleaned up and honed. I also use a feather razor with replaceable blades. I purchase a DOVO razor that came in Sat. It is a Dovo Straight Razor with tortoise shell handle, carbon steel, full hollow ground blade with gold etching on blade.
It is a beauty thing to shave with a nice razor. I purchased it from classic shaving and it came presharped. I just stroped it and used it.
I have had a beard for 30 years but the gray had got to go. Can't wait for it to grown it so I can shave it off again.
I have been reading this site for help and tips for a couple of weeks and have a lot of good information.
Thanks.

Yesterday I was lazy and decided to take out the shavette for a shave..
I did two passes and got a BBS shave..
-Palmolive shave cream
-Dovo Shavette with new Feather blade
-Sanex Aftershave Balm
My first post on this, but was so happy I had to.
Last night was thinking about which razor to use this morning. I have a Torrey I picked up on ebay from inactive member here. pearlescent green scales, scalloped spine, pearl tang. it seemed wicked sharp, but first shave wasn't quite comfy.
Last night gave it 20-25 passes on cotton, this morning about 30 on leather. how towel then Truefitt 1805, excellent shave. felt great, nice and close (I don't do two passes going for bb, my skins too sensitive). splash of cologne on a spot that needed it. that was it.

Have a Great Day!!!!
Wednesday. Got up and decided to try one that hadn't shaved that great for me before. I think the stropping made the difference, this time I gave it 20 on the cotton and 30 on the leahter (before maybe 10 on cotton and 20 on leather).
hot towel, 1805 shave cream. great shave.
