A nice, easy Sunday afternoon shave. I still don't have the feel right for this wedgy razor, but I got the job done in the end. I did cut myself on the touch ups by trying to be fancy and using a kamisori

Night time shave. My daughter picked out the shaving cream for me. TOBS St James. I decided to match it with Dr Harris Lavender.

Sunday shave.

Prep:18 km run followed by a hot shower

Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8 ( honed by Lynn)
Stop: SRP red Latigo
Brush: Golden Nib 22 mm finest in an old ever ready handle
Cream: my own Vetiver SC
Thayers
Addidas Deep Energy AS
Nivea ASB


I found a local soap making place that sells what they call "cream soap base" . The list of ingredients is pretty much identical to JM Frasers SC. I mixed up a small amount with Vetiver essential oil and hit style lather bowl. I am VERY impressed...this is pretty much exactly the same as JM Frasers sc in terms of lather, glide and protection.

Combined with the Lynn honed Dovo, I had a perfect shave.

Using this razor is nice, but it does remind me of just how far I have to go in terms of honing a razor.... This Dovo is smooth as butter and shaves like a dream. It's the benchmark, the target, the objective for me for honng my own blades.... Someday .....
