    Default First shave with custom Josh Earl Razor..

    Hey guys,

    So I just finished my first shave with my new Josh Earl 5/8 spike point razor! The thing is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect weight, balance and style. Unfortunately I didn't have much to shave so I couldn't fully appreciate the quality of this thing.

    Do you guys sometime find that a 'shave ready' razor will constantly out-perform any other of your razors?

    It was! The feeling was totally different than my other razors (in a good way). Even though the blade is a 5/8 spike point, it almost felt like a wedge. I don't have pictures with me but Josh has some on his website.

    here's the link. The blade is absolutely fantastic!!

    it's the black one with the blue spacer.

    well it sorta is yeah. I feels completely different than my dovo special or my frederick reynold. The razor feels way stiffer. I think I'm really going to like it. I like this stiffer feels, it even makes a different sound when it goes through whiskers. I think I'm gone wait until Sunday night before I shave again to give my beard time to grow. The weather is still pretty crappy here, still -25 every day.

    I got some money from my grandparents for christmas. My grandmother asked me to buy something that I could keep for a long time to remind me of her when she's gone and I figured a nice collection piece like this would be perfect.

    The Dovo Special is a hollow isn't it, so it would feel different? The wedges don't make much noise in comparison. It's a great razor & that's a lovely story of how you came to get it! Enjoy a lifetime of shaving with it mate.
    -25! That's cold!
