Hey guys,

I'm new to straight razor shaving (done it 5 times now with my Dovo ). I have Lynn's video and have done a lot of research. However, because no-one that I know in person shaves with a straight, I can't seem to find what would be two simple answers.

1. With shaving soap, do I put the entire bar into the dish and wet it? If so, do i just rub off the cream when done and put it somewhere to dry?

2. Some people claim that you need two razors instead of just one. Why is this so and how important is it for me to really get a second razor?

Thanks for all the help and I'm really glad that I found this forum, which helped me to muster up the courage to get that cut-throat!

Jon
