Thanks, I am making much progress with my stropping and have been using the same razor for well over a week. While not quite as sharp as when delivered,but I am pretty amazed how many shaves I am...

I was under the impression that there were different flattening stones for each of the hones, so yes, I bought two. They were not expensive.

Are you saying I only need one? Cant hurt to have an...

It was hard to find, but I placed an order for the Naniwa 12 and flattening stone (as well as a flattening stone for my Norton.) I am really hoping I can keep my blades sharp with a little practice.

Man, I hear you. I'm thinking of buying five more of the cheap blond Dovos to keep a consistent blade. So far I am loving these shave ready blond dovos.

Man, you did me a huge favor. I take all of my hobbies way too far and was headed in the same direction with Straight Razors until you set me "straight". I made a quick list, and this Hobby loses to...

I expected this to take much time to learn, at least 100 shaves. My problem is that I was not aware of how quickly the blades dull! I have quite a few nast cuts from using my Dull straights. (All...

Someone on the honing section of this forum asked me if I had hobbies and it dawned on me that I have way too many ! This one (Straight Razors) will have to be put to the side before it goes too far....

I am tossing in the towel. I just don't have the time to play with these razors.(I have too many Hobbies) I'll keep the Four Dovo's in my Shaving Den for an occasional use, but I'm back to SE and the...
