Just did my first shave!! I was nervous as hell putting that blade to my skin but managed to get through it. Used a Dovo 5/8 from classic shaving. Most of the shave was spotty at best. The sideburn stroke was the easiest and I pretty much couldn't muster up the courage to try the chin. Got through the stroke for under the jawline but still am not quite comfortable with how to get the jaw.

Yes I looked at all of the instructions and pictures here and elsewhere...still don't get it. I think most of it was a comfort factor thing. I took my time and had to lather several times but I loved the experience. Have to tell you spend on the brush. I first had a bristle brush and it sucked....bager hair brush made great lather.....

Left the hair I couldn't get and will keep on going at it...this is a slow process.
