  4. Great shave, Joe! I am so glad the lapping films are working well for you. I have always said it was newbie-proof and there is no maintenance involve unlike stones. Have a great morning l!

  7. Excellent first shave with the AC Feather, Chris! I am a two-handed shaver, but I have shaved with one hand and was fine with it. Enjoy your day!

  8. Alpha Claymore finally sorted to accept Proline blades, and the diminutive Mark Cross. Alpha is a fine shaver, especially on the beard, but the Mark Cross is so much easier on the dome and with detail work.[​IMG]

  10. Today's shave was same as yesterday, but for:

    Brush-Stoylin "li'l brudder"

    Another fine shave all over. 0:30 at the loading dock. 2 passes. One "red polkadot"along N.Porcupine Alley was the only blemish. Not really an issue. Outta This World Excellent.

    Well, this is my 5th consecutive Dovo Shavette shave. I wasn't planning on doing a mini focus and the end of the month, but this is exactly the theme of this thread.
    Anyway, I had an awesome shave today. Everything clicked for me once again. Made a thin, creamy, slick lather that just made the razor glide so easily. Two passes gave me a nice, comfortable, smooth shave without errors. The alum block did not give me any feedback. Finished this fine shave with the witch hazel and a double splash of the matching aftershave. Ok, tomorrow is a non-shave day so I will end this month with my 6th consecutive Dovo shavette shave mini-focus. Have a great day!
