This is my first post here and I am completely new to using a straight razor. After doing some online research, I decided to invest in a Dovo straight razor and a Kanayama strop. I just received them and started using it after watching some YouTube videos.
My first shave was a bit rough. I had not shaved in 3 days and the razor was painfully tugging away along my face. So I used the strop, however, I did not notice any difference. I ended shaving with a disposable razor. I am not sure what I was doing wrong. I was expecting a much smoother shave - at least better than the disposable twin-blade razor.
I just ordered a set of Norton sharpening stones after watching another YouTube video. Does the Dovo straight razor come ready-to-use? Or does it require sharpening first?
