Full face - first time

Today was the first time I shaved my whole face, neck, chin, moustache, the lot, no DE touch up. Got bbs cheeks and a dfs on my neck and moustache. Tempted to touch up the rough patches on the neck with my DE but a bit of fiddling got the most of it and I left it at that. Perfectly acceptable. Just a little burn, think I had the angle a bit steep at some points but then again I got burned by a new aftershave this week and my face was tingling just under the lather so it may still be that! Feels so good to have managed the whole job for the first time!!

Very cool. It just gets better and better from there! Stretching in all kinds of ways on your problem areas should help you out. I just realized that stretching on way helps more than another on my neck areas.

Hey Chris

How many shaves in are you now? I did my second yesterday, first since I got my new strop from Tony Miller. Still only brave enough to attempt the cheek area at the mo!!

Hi Rob,
At a guess I'd say 10 or so using the DE as backup. Been about 3 weeks since I got the Dovo. I'd love a miller strop but the exchange rate plus import tax and shipping really kills the deal from over here. I have a dovo strop which seems to be working fine anyway as that edge clips arm hair at a distance and shave nicely which is the acid test.
Keep at it, it gets easier, I started on the cheeks as most people do. You'll get a feel for the blade, what's happening, where it is when you can't quite see the edge and when to press on and when to back off pretty quickly.

Chris
