Hi everyone. It's been a while since I put finger to key board. Thought I would just give an update on my straight razor shaving. Been using a straight every shave since christmas & now I feel quite competent in using a SR. So much do that I now have 5 beauty's. My latest addition is a 1916 wade & butcher. I have been over the moon with the shave I get from thus old girl. It is far better than I have been getting with my Dovo inox. I am still quite nervous about honing & most Likely I haven't honed my other Razors to a level to compare as yet. The SRD strop I got from Gary a while back has helped me improve the edges on all my Razors but I still think I am not getting the best from the others. Any honing/ routines that anyone could advise on would be most thankfully received. To Anyone just starting out on straight razor shaving keep at it & I can assure you it gets better & better the more your confidence builds. I never thought I would get the hang if using a open blade on my face now I even use both hands. All I need to complete the whole circle is to master honing.
I currently have
Dovo envogue 105
Dovo Bismark
Dovo inox 4/8 french point
Wade & butcher special
Wade & Butcher (barbers notch)
Cio for now all
