Hello,

Today I tried shaving directly off the Coticule, with two razors, a Sheffield, and a Dove. The Sheffield was a very smooth shave, but the dovo was NOT. I was interested to know how anyone else finds there's shave straight from the hones ok or even good.

I realize that the strop is indispensable and I'm not saying anything about it's effectiveness. Just wanted to test the feel from the hone directly.

Nathaniel.
