This Wacker is lucky.
I was very close to selling it, because every time I used it (2-3 months) it gave me a very rough shave. I suppose it's a testament to hard "Wacker Steel".
I decided I'd give it a final chance. Last night I gave it the strop tour.
20 laps, cerium oxide on horse
50 laps finishing linen (Illinois 361 - not broken in, a little rough)
50 laps canvas (RupRazor Paladin - very broken in)
50 laps 361 cowhide
50 laps Paladin horse hide
It is now a beautiful shaver, and a proud member of the family for some time.

I don't like AOS's products. Period. The pre shave oil is a useless non starter which clogs my brush and sink. The "Lime" scent is no match for almost any other lime scent I know. In a nutshell, thanks but no thanks.

Dovo vs Revisor? Revisor. The razor is easier to handle (thanks to the jimps), and I like the looks even better than those of the Bismarck. As far as performance is concerned, the Dovo was honed by Lynn, and the Revisor wasn't. I'm working on that, though... ;)

I really enjoy the weekend shave when I can take my time about it. Stropped the razor, soaked the brush and took my shower. Made an outrageous amount of lather with the Mem so I ended up head shaving as well. The Genco is the first razor I took from bevel setting to shave ready and it feels great to use a razor that I have worked on like that. (Thank you JoeD and Holli4pirating.) Two good passes without incident, I still have yet to really conquer my neck so I can still feel some leftover stubble, but only I would notice it. Now for some coffee and breakfast and perhaps a cigar to follow. Life is good. :tu
