Hi Devan. Great info on the dovo. I've been using one brush for like the past 3 years. Sold my other 2 a while back. Thanks for sharing

Nice shave Devan. I agree there is a lot of information out there regarding bevel setting tests. I’ll start with a 5k and if I don’t get any indication of a bevel I’ll reset it.

I do have a Norton Translucent 8x3x0.5. Crazy coloring, but translucent throughout. Yeh, I forget how long ago, but around 3-5 years ago… since we’ve been in the new house… 5.5 years now. I bought it off eBay and the vendor was selling them for $99.00. A real vendor not a private seller… he had a certain quantity in stock. I was shocked to see the low pricing and thought maybe it was a counterfeit or defective. It was sold as new and indeed when received new in box in original wrappings. It’s been a fine stone and welcome addition to my collection. (BTW, Translucent Arkansas stones are, or can be, just as effective as Hard Black, as I frequently say). Good shave, commentary. Thanks for the shout out.

No problem Leo. I never thought the day would come when I could find one of my own. The full 3” is the best width especially considering how hard they are. Thanks for watching!

Great video ,and so many subjects you covered Devan ! , especially pleased you found HHT diagnosed the edge issue post shave with the Heljestrand No4 ( great razor ,i have one ) High carbon for sure can be awkward . Consistancy in testing i find is the 🔑 key .....understanding my HHT testing was paramount in my progress , i will not attempt a shave unless HHT is perfect, and it diagnosed issues post shave on occasion for me .... Seriously, i can guarantee a shave purely by the HHT. Loved your expession " lost in the weeds " so accurate, stick to any proven method I believe is the path through the weeds 😅. Many thanks,great talk. 🎉

@devanjackson509 , I select fine and course hair gives better insight , but finally it's weather the edge cuts ✂️ down the hair scales ,or pushes the hair away, any old edge cuts into the hair scales , that's not hard to do .

I start with a 5k to check my bevel on a new vintage razor that doesn’t have any chips. If it doesn’t shave after 5k-12k plus natural stone then I’ll reset the bevel. I’m new to honing, but have noticed that there is no real need for me to reset every razors bevel that I receive. I’m a big fan of the vintage Swedish razors.

I've had similar experience as well. At the beginning I would always reset at 1.5k but no real need in my opinion just for fun.

I do not remember what you have said about it before, but what about using whitch hazel for your post shave? It is much nicer for post shave feel and skin recovery. Thanks for sharing.
