I've spent the last week reading all the advice posted here, thanks to all the great ideas.
So, my Dovo arrived today and was shave ready. I followed the stropping guidelines and the tips on how to break-in a new strop. I've preped my beard well and have followed the advice to only shave the cheeks on the first day.
Sadly, the Dovo pulled on my whiskers something terrible. I tried different angles with the same result. So, I stopped and finished with my double edge. I know it takes practice, but I could barely move the blade through my 2 days of stubble.
I have 2 nice nicks to let heal before I try again.
