I've been lurking around here a while. I've been straight shaving about 6 weeks now.
Just wanted to say hi...
And thanks Lynn... your vid helped me a lot. And the Dovo you sharpened for me from Vintage blades has done me well so far. I questioned the sharpness once on the shavemyface boards, but took the advice and just kept with it.
It seems my technique has improved and I am getting decent and improving shaves every time.
