It seams hard to believe that it was only April when I had my first shave.
It was on a Modern steel Dovo Bismark Honed by Outback. (Thanks again Mike.)
since then I have collected 14 razors that I consider shave ready. and have another 25 or so at different stages of the resto process. I know compared to most of you that is a drop in the bucket.

But on to something I have learned and the reason for this post.

With different blade types and grinds at my disposal I have found that I really enjoy Sheffield razors with a heavy grind over the full hollows. I find the full hollows to be a very uncomfortable shave. and the Dovo Bismark the worst by far But I have a vintage Hollow that was also honed by Outback and it is miles better than the Dovo

If I could offer any advice to Beginning wet shavers it would be don't give up if you don't like you're first shaver Try something different you just may find the one that does it for you. And absolutely start with a vintage blade.
