As the title say`s, a post to introduce myself. I`m 48 years old in December, so after thirty odd years of shaving with whatever disposable catridge razors which were on the market at the time (and a short spell with safety razors and blades) I decided it was time to go "old school" and adopt the straight method.
After a week of experimenting with a pair of cheapo razors from ebay, I decided if was was going to change, then I would better do it right. The Dovo I ordered came today and by the God`s what a difference!
I suppose after a week, I`m doing OK, but I have a way to go. I have dark hair and a heavy dark beard growth speckled with grey nowadays. So far I am comfortable shaving with, and across the growth, I really need a third pass to get really close, especially around the neck which grows almost in a horizontal direction, but I am prepared to be a patient man in this respect. I currently have a goatee beard, so I`m starting slow, and hoping to have enough technique to go completely clean shaven when I hit the beaches in January!
