Basically, I need to get to know my face, where to pull the skin, what direction to hold the blade etc. I think this stuff is going to take a few months to learn. However, that being said I noticed a HUGE difference between the factory sharpened DOVO and the honed edge. I think now that it is honed I can actually get down to learning how to do this properly.
