Just about three months in and this morning another of those "Oh yeah" discoveries. Following my usual prep routine (soak brush and bowl in warm water,shower,lather and 20 laps on the strop) I made my usual two pass WTG & ATG on the face and a kind of X stroke on my neck then a cold water rinse and another against grain pass on face and a repeat of the X stroke on my neck and my half hollow Dovo was buttering more toast than ever before. Could have been the cold water pass or maybe better skin stretching but either way a GREAT way to start the day.
