Ah no,you just amused us lolSo with this spelling mistake I hope I didn't insultany one, but the trolling jokes was good.
I Am Glad You are Pleased with My Work..It Has Taken a Killer Edge this SR & its a Very Smooth Shaver..I Reckon this Will Be Quite a Robust SR for Learning On..The Swedish Steel is Quite Hard..Not as Hard as Vintage Swedish Steel SRs but still Quite Hard..It Will Serve You Well with Proper Maintenance..So, just received my razor back from fergiebilly.....
OH My....im scared [emoji15]LOL
Billy you have done a amazing job! I definitely wont be needing this honed for a veryyyyy long time.
Thanks a million mate. Much appreciated [emoji847][emoji847]

Now..You Know what a Proper Shave Ready SR Should Feel Like..That is You're Foundation Now for Learning On..That's the Way it Should have been when it Was Sold as Shave Ready..Unfortunately a Lot of Vendors aren't Selling SRs as Proper Shave Ready..I Will Add..Even By Some Vendors that Claim to be SR Specialists..It is unbelievably sharp! Love it [emoji41]

Hey Guys
Tried out my new dovo straight tonight which was sold as "shave ready". This is my first straight and my first straight razor shave and it was horrible. It felt like i was ripping at the hairs!! It just didn't feel like it was cutting my whiskers and resulted in finishing the shave with a mach3.
Anyone else bought a dovo and had the same issue?? I just don't feel it was shave ready....
Ive been looking online to find somewhere to get it honed asap....
I was really looking forward to my shave tonight which turned out to be rubbish!
