    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Oh Baby! Wow! What a shave! First, the freshness and greenness of the Nuàvia Verde scent always brightens my day, and that scent was complemented by the refreshed edge on this Dovo.

For the refresh, I started the edge on my Nakayama Jnat but finished it with nagura slurry on my Black Arkansas. This is a completely new progression for me and I did not know what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed the sharpening experience. I was quite surprised at the uniqueness of the edge-feel. Naturally, I made a video.
