I recently have purchased a Dovo Shavette to see if I will like to fully invest into straight razor shaving. I used a soap and brush kit that I got at my local Wal-mart and a styptic pen I found at my grocery store. Well first i know I got to get used to shaving but my face looks like I lost a fight to a cat. By shave 3 I have not cut myself as much but my skin is really irritable. I also have used an alcohol based after shave which feels good right after the shave, (besides the cuts) does anyone have any advice for a newbie?

Thanks
Ben
