Great start to the weekend for me and hope yours is great as well. Happy shaving Gents!
Yay! its Christmas all over again.
Sure feels like it right now :D This is going to be my first real shave off a str8.
I loved shaving with the Crystal DE blades until I started shaving with the Personna Med Prep blades. But everyone reacts differently to each blade. Let us know how your first straight shave goes. Be sure to take your time. You dont need to bleed to be welcome here.
Well at first it felt like Christmas and then my tree caught fire and burnt my house down :*( First shave and my beard totally pwnd it.

No bleeding though as that would be no fun at all and I followed the advice here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/begin...ead-first.html I'm in no rush and expect str8 shaving to have a much longer learning curve than when I switched to DE. I'm just enjoying the ride :)
Ah man! What happened?
No clue. Must've been factory pinned too tight or bad batch of plastic. I'd say both really. I was drying it off to put it away, noticed a crack, was like uh oh!, then it spread and disintegrated in my hands. I was very gentle with it as it's my first new baby that showed up.Quote:

I could try it Japanese style hehe. I'll contact the seller first and thanks jdto that's very generous of you :)
wow, dovo has certainly been on my mind lately as a razor company that is loosing my interest, I am seeing to much of this :( I really like my vintage dovo blades but dont think I am too fond of the new ones. I did just order a Bismark though
