    Default First Shave with my Dovo 6/8 Professionally Honed

    I just received my professionally honed DOVO 6/8 Best Quality Razor from Phil at Classic Edge Shaving supplies. I sure could tell the difference now from a "REAL SHAVE READY" Razor vice my other purchase a Boker 5/8 that I purchased from another supplier and made the Newbie mistake of shaving with it for about a month getting ok shaves. I have now sent my Boker off to Phil for honing services today so I will have 2 nice shaving razors.

    But still amazed late in the day and my face still feels very clean. I am glad I found this FORUM only wish I had found it prior to my first purchase. I have learned so much from this place also from Lynn Abrams DVD, which by the way I recommend to all newbies to strait razor shaving. It could save you alot of trouble and get you set off on the right foot.

    Never look back.

    I made a few purchasing errors early on until i stumbled into the halls of shaving knowledge this site provides.

    You've found a very large group of very helpful, and extremely knowledgeable people.

    Phil does nice work. I when I restarted shaving I did so with an inexpensive razor from Classic Edge. This place helped me along in my skills too.

    Thanks everyone. I finished Lynns DVD I will be watching it again and this time taking notes. My shaves are getting better and better. I am not sure if its because I have a professionally honed Razor now I really haven't nicked myself at all compared to my other razor that I took straight out of the box and just started shaving with. My DOVO just glides over my beard making that really cool sound as it is effortlessly cutting my beard.
