Hello. I was fascinated with straights for a while and decide to buy a DOVO Classic starter set from Vintage Blades. I got the package, went to the bathroom and locked myself in. I took a warm shower to soften the facial hair, and proceeded to shave. I lathered up and proceeded to shave. It didn't go to well, but thats what I expected my first time. I didn't strop it initially, as I had it honed and it said no need to strop on the box. I decided to try again the next morning to see if It got any better. Same routine, showered, lathered, stropped and began to shave. However the shave was horrible. It was tugging almost every single hair out. However I continued to shave my whole face. The shave was quite bad. It wasn't close in the least bit. And it hurt. I had to mop up with the fusion. So I ask you people, what may be going wrong? Improper stropping? Not enough lather? Throw any suggestions you guys have. I'm too stubborn to give up on this, and I'm going to learn how to use a straight or die trying.
