Thread: Dovo white paste vs. white lapping paste

I tried the white Dovo many years ago and more recently the Classic white paste. I have been underwhelmed by both to be honest. The Classic brand is oily and translucent and is soaked up quickly on a linen strop when applied. You then need to let it dry out a couple of days. The site claims it does a similar job to CrOx, and certainly there was no harshness to the shave afterwards. IMO it isn't any better than CrOx.

I stopped using it because I really couldn't discern a clear benefit.

P.S. The Classic CrOx (on the same page) is messy stuff as expected, but it is also very oily. It takes days, perhaps more than a week, to dry satisfactorily on a leather strop.
