5. The straight razor I bought a short time ago no longer shaves properly. Do I have to whet it, and how often is this necessary?DOVO straight razors are whetted in the factory for use (whetting on leather by hand). If you own a suitable strop, you should nevertheless take into account that the razor must first "rest" after use. After the razor has been carefully rinsed and dried, it should not be used again for at least 24 - 48 hours because the fine "fin" on the cutting edge straightens up again extremely slowly. If the razor is stropped too soon (or stropped incorrectly by moving it backwards and forwards without turning it over), the "fin" which is necessary for a close shave breaks off. Between six and fifteen shaves are possible without stropping in between.
É interessante. Por isso, vi em alguma dovo, algumas navalhas tem o dia da semana estampado nela.VOu fazer rodizio entre minha peças.A gente desenvolve uma certa preferencia por algumas.VOu ter que me educar..
Realmente, deixar a lâmina da navalha descansar é bem verdadeiro, será que isso se aplicaria as lâminas DEs?
