Hi guys, I shaved with my Dovo Stainless Steel straight for the first time! It went alright, not sure if the stropping helped because it still didn't pass the hair test? When I did te first few passes it shaved pretty smoothly and no cuts. Then I went to the other side and it started to stop halfway down the pass and "jump". Almost like catching. I think maybe because my lather dried up? Then I guess since it was going pretty well, I tried the coup de maitre and had only one cut. But I found doing the left side difficult as I never switched hands. I ended up cutting myself and accidently nicked my upper lip as i lifted the blade up and wasn't paying attention. It really freaked me out and luckily wasn't deep. I guess I shouldn't have tried that until i become more experienced and hopefully i learn a lesson, to be more careful right!

Other than that I found the shave went alright, although it didn't cut close and smooth? I need to be more careful in the future otherwise I'm not sure if i will keep this up due to almost cutting my lip off!

Anyways thought I'd let you guys know and could offer me some help or encouragement! In the meantime I'll keep my finger's crossed!
