Last weekend I tried a 2 pass shave with my Dovo 5/8, 1 wtg pass and 1 xtg pass. Everything was fine until the xtg pass. I managed to give myself 2 pretty good cuts. I needed a week to let these bad cuts heal, so I shaved very carefully all week with a DE. Tonight I broke out the straight and went at it again. This time I did 2 wtg passes. Not exactly BBS but I got a decent shave and no weepers, irritation or cuts. I've only been using the straights for a few weeks and realize it will take me some time to get good at this. Tonights shave was encouraging and I know each shave will get better. I plan to take it slow and improve my technique.
