For the last few months I've been shaving with a shavette; gradually getting better and better, and I probably have ~50 shaves under my belt now.

Well, I just found a nice little package in the mailbox -- a 6/8" full hollow ground Dovo! Looking forward to trying it out, but kinda nervous. I've never stropped before, and I'm pretty sure it won't be as forgiving as the shavette, so hopefully I don't carve myself up too badly.

I'll post later with the results (unless I'm at the hospital having an ear sewn back on...). Wish me luck!
