5/8ths Dovo Best Quality, I believe that this was the second razor that I ever bought, and to put it plainly I was underwhelmed with the quality of it in general, but I put it in with some others a while back to get honed by Max and - well it isn't one of those beautiful drool inspiring honeys but WOW! does it shave great, thanks Max fantastic as always
Pre-shave with Ogallala Bay Rum with Sandalwood, got the large long neck bottle of it this time, Man! this stuff is just fantastic

Did a few strokes with my Wester Bros. razor, but am going to have to revert to the DE until I can either nab a coticule ir send off to have one of my razors honed. Frustrating, but I am sure that when I get a truly shave ready razor it will be worth it. Not that I dislike the DE, by the way.

Conclusion: Nearly 2 Days Growth and the J Sellers Performed Like A Dream, Very light very Smoooth, 1 small nick but you cant blame her for wanting to taste a little blood after years and years sat rotting now can you? This ol' gal was so rusty I thought the pitting would go right through the blade!! But thankfully I was wrong, still left a healthy looking "Age Mark" on the face of the blade.
Man I love these real old English Blades!!
SHAVE ON!!
Right on - the all Proraso shave...it's my favorite! It's such a standby combo that I have to force myself to use variety!Quote:

This razor is wicked sharp and very smooth. It must have been a good day when I honed this one. Just a very small notch above the rest but enough to make a difference resulting in a couple of nicks. :)
