I never knew you could look forward to shaving. I'm 55 years old and have been using a straight razor for just a couple of months and once I used it the first time I never went back to a multy. I've learnd how to do a decent job honing, shaving with my left hand and shaving the back of my neck. I've also discoverd the straght razor I inherited from my Grandfather is well used. The sides of the spine are worn flat from honing but the razor still does a good job. It is time to consider getting a second razor and put the heirloom in semi retirment. I don't know whether to by a brand new Dovo or by a shave ready used razor.
