SOTD MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, 2022
Another great mug shave with the straight razor that started me off, the Dovo Special! The factory edge when this razor was new was anything but shave ready. My son reset the bevel and honed it up for my use 7 yrs ago. After my own trials and tribulations with it initially, we’re now on great terms. I reset the bevel the way I like it a few years ago, and have been maintaining it ever since. The shave went well, two and a half passes left yours truly delightfully smooth.
My dome shave with the Colonial Razor Silversmith was every bit as good. This DE safety razor just feels right in hand! Loaded with a Feather DE it never fails to clear away my dome stubble effectively. Kirk and Kyle Evans build fabulous shaving tools. I own both their AC General and the DE Silversmith, and am on deck to receive the new aluminum DE currently in the design phase. I have no doubt that the new razor will be a winner given their track record! Two ATG passes cleaned my dome stubble down to the scalp line leaving me velveteen smooth from neck to noggin.
