Hey everyone, I had a question about nicks while shaving with a straight. I just got my first razor a couple weeks ago (a Dovo 5/8 hollow) and sent it out to get honed 1st thing before using it. Took a while to get it back but finally did and I noticed on my first couple shaves that I've done with it that I've had some cuts along my cheek. Not just nicks but straight cuts that go for a couple millimeters. My question is whether this is common when first learning to wet shave with a straight or whether its possible that there is some kind of bur or chip in the razor thats causing it. I dont wanna complain or give a bad review about the place I got it honed before ruling out user error. Seems like half the bad reviews and naysayers out there are just people who havent done research or do things improperly then blame the tools.
