last night was my first time to shave with a straight,
i used a dovo black star which i purchased from the invisible edge,
it came shave ready so i jumped in with both feet, i was a bit apprehensive at first because of various stories i read about the do's & don'ts and the pitfalls of using a straight,
the shave was only ok, a few nicks becasuse blade angle and pressure, (god bless the styptic pen) half way through the shave i was tempted to grab my merkur DE to finish the job but i carried on, my main problem i guess was trying to see my mush in the mirror at certain angles, trying to tilt my head this way & that,but at the end of the day i thought it was an ok effort for my first shave.
thanks to everybody on the site for all the info i obtained
( now wheres that cat gone )
