Overall I am impressed with...

I completely understand bob

After some research yesterday I found that people liked his edges and he was pretty good at it so that's a plus. My research also showed that some of the dovo razors have issues but as the own of...

Sorry I am typing on my phone ent and it keeps correcting words. Dovo is what divorce was meant to say. And yes I understood this that why I ordered from theinvisibleedge.com he hones and strops...

I really like been able to control every aspect of my shave so I intend to carry on. I just needed a decent tool to learn with so yeah. The old razor is going to be used to practice honing and...

My main concern at the moment is the razor so I am just looking for and opinion on the razor I linked to earlier. Is it a decent lifetime razor? I know even with a new shave my shaves will be less...

Just for the sake of information, is the dovo listed above a good razor and will it be a great lifetime shave (assuming good maintanance)

I had mapped my growth and as it happens I have been inadvert ally been stretching the right way maybe just not enough or close enough to my work area

I love my new shave and do realise half the problem is me but I also feel half the problem is the cheap blade I am using. As for stretching I conquer it needs some serious work

Mustache chin and cheeks are the ones. But I won't expect much right now

Had a lovely shave today. Slight bit of razor burn. I think it was to steep an angle. Went across the grain where comfortable and against the grain where it was easier ( side burn area) where I went...

So thats good, just avoiding the chin at the moment since I...

It's a creative edge. I am thinking of getting a better brand and getting that honed. I have a hone here so I can practise on the cheap blade

I just found one but they will not work on my brand.... that socks lol

Just been on Google and looks like I'll need to send it off. Can't find any locals to do it :( that's a crud I really like this straight compared to the shavete
