Another great shave today, I think I am starting to get the hang of straight shaving, and the speed is picking up as well, so I'm closing in on the time I use with a DE.
As yesterday I used three passes WTG-XTG-ATG and got a nice close shave without nicks, cuts or weepers. Again I refrained from doing any touch up, I won't risk irritation and it will show if there are any areas I need to attend to more closely.
I have also found out how to strop the Dovo, so now its performance is just about as good as the George Johan and my two beautiful Potters'. It took a little time, but the Dovo has to be stropped somewhat more than the other razors. I don't mind that, and I'm happy I found out, I thought I might have dulled it.
Today's equipment was:
Rosendahl Glass Bowl
Edwin Jagger Silvertip
Dovo Special 5/8" Straight

Proraso Pre-shave (green)
Arko Shave Stick in combo with
Proraso Shaving Cream (green)
Floid Suave After Shave (Spanish version)
