Again Sorry No Pic, Camera not working..Time for New camera....

Enjoying a nice 3 days off from work, So Today I had a Shave... I Resharpened My W&B Bow razor and did just as good as My Twinworks...

Prep = Hot Shower & Baby oil splash
Soap = Mama Bear's Cannabis & VDH
Brush = VDH Boar
Razor = W&B Bow
Mug = VDH small bowl
A/S = Wild Country
Music = Overture: The Marriage of Figaro By: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The W&B is a Nice razor and does a nice 2 pass shave, But I seem to like the J.A.Henckels Twin Works a little better. I may have to send My W&B out to be honed, or wait till Houston has another meeting and have it done... That is if I'm not working that Day...

I wasn't really sure why either, but I figured it had to be the blade, although I only had about 4 shaves with that blade (I was under the impression that they're supposed to last a bit longer than that, especially since I have very light beard growth)...

I use my blades only twice; and I also have light growth. after the first use I dry the blade, wrap it back up in the wax paper and outer paper, and put it back in the little box with the new ones, but I put it back upside down so I know it's been used once. After the next shave with that blade, which is normally a week later on a Saturday, I throw the blade away. I only shave once a week with a DE, all the other shaves are with a straight, so a couple of packets (I use Astra) last for quite a while...

Jose, how do you like your Dovo Special? I have been practicing and building up my confidence with a cheap straight razor, but need to purchase a proper blade. Your Dovo was one of my first choices.

Ok well thats helpful, I just wasn't sure if my Derbys were wearing out prematurely. I shave every day, not because I have alot of growth but because the spots that dont grow in full look terrible if I let them grow out. My gotee can get fairly thick but my cheeks and neck grown in pretty patchy.
