Hey fellas,

Received a Dovo Ebony Silver Steel 5/8 from Vintage Blades for Christmas. Took a crack at my first shave the other day, and I gotta say, it wasn't half bad. My technique sucks, but I know it's a learning process. What I'm curious about is whether or not you really have to switch hands to shave the opposite side of your face? I'm sure I could, but after handling the razor a bunch, I feel like I don't have the control I'd like with my left hand. Kinda like trying to write with the wrong hand is the only explanation I can come up with that makes sense. Ideas? I've been shaving with a DE for awhile, and really enjoy taking the time out for a slow relaxing shave, and I feel like shaving with a straight is going to be a whole new experience for me. Let me know what you think, and I appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks very much, guys.

Cheers!

Samson
