Closeness of a once-over?
Disclaimer: This post may annoy many straight razor aficionados
I'm 18 and want to start using a straight razor but really don't have the time to go through the whole process. I'd also like to get a Feather so I don't have to hone it. My question is, if I were to only do a once-over, shaving with the grain, would I be able to get a shave that is closer or as close as if I were to use a disposable razor? Please answer honestly, and please don't be angry about my reluctance to shave with a straight the right way.
My Dovo Shavette is doing the job
Ive been using my Dovo Shavette for a couple of weeks now, started off just shaving the cheeks, and touching up the rest with a DE. Anyway, Ive worked into a full face shave now, and can say that yes, from my very limited experience, you can get a smooth single pass shave. Ive not worked up the experience to go further into against the grain shaves yet, but at present am happy with a single pass.
