Hi all,

I've finally got round to giving straight razor shaving a go. Not sure how I'd get on, so I bought me the Dovo Shavette which you use disposable blades.

Watched a few youtube videos on shaving and went with the flow - darn shame I didn't read the introduction to shaving on here first, I'd have only cut myself the once as I tried majority of the face (although thankfully did give up about 2/3 the through and didn't attempt the chin!)

One question for those who know - two of my cuts were purely from placing the blade on the face (nice straight cuts!) - what am I doing wrong?! How do you make sure that you don't get cut from placement of blade? do you put it on the face flat first, then get to correct angle or what? Maybe my angles were out. Anyhow, I'll leave it a couple days, then try again with Lynn's method of learning!
