I took the plunge yesterday morning. Used the Dovo Best that I purchsed from SRD. I have to say that standing there with the naked blade against my skin was a tad intimidating. I have a healthy respect for the sharpness of the blade and I took my time. I am happy to report that I did not cut myself. That may have been beginner's luck. I can't say the shave was all that great but I cleaned it up with the DE. Going in for shave number two today. Hope everyone enjoys the journey!
