Joseph, your Dovo 91 is a bellied hollow. If you get the light reflection right you can see where the blade thickens about 1/8" away from the edge.
Makes part of a great shaver IMO.

 

Thank you Gary.

You’re welcome Joseph, having one or many of each is a good idea. they all shave differently some vastly,and some just slightly.

 

Oh I get it....you cut me off before I got to the Local Gent story lol.

 

Thanks Danny. Trying to jump in here when I can. My MAYhem plans are going to waste though sadly.

 

Wonderful photo and shave Jim. Live the colors.

True! I find that with a brand new DE blade, you wouldn't have that problem. However, the straight has on average 40 - 60 shaves before honing is needed. It is possible that your straight is losing its sharpness and you will still get a good shave, but not a full dead-on BBS.

 

If I had a dog, then I would name it Rocky.

 

Thanks, Clint!

Shall we?

 

I appreciate what you are saying, but I keep count for 2 reasons. First, it has been considered gospel that when you hit 100 shaves with a shavette or a SR that you have achieved proficiency or mastery. Second, having 100 shavette shaves and 100 SR shaves is an accomplishment that I aspire to and it gives me some street cred in the shaving community. With that said, I will not consider to be a master in SR and shavette shaving until I have 1000 shaves for each tool. So, at the rate that I am going, it will take me another 8.3 yrs to reach that milestone which would be 9.3 years from my 1st shavette shave.

 

My not-then-but-now Ex left me in charge of a pregnant Bichon Frise. I'd had a policy with our children; Get male pets instead of females because they're less expensive to get em fixed, or if not neutered the boys don't "have" babies. So there I am never having been a midwife to a birthing. Four pups with one survivor. You already told us his name. (Stock photo, not him.)

I honor your achievement! Being able to document your Shave Journey lends credence to your opinions, too. Keep it real!

 

You may be old but you are tough!

 

You have always had "cred" with me Joe!
