I got tired of buying cartridges only to have buy more, so I decided to look into straight razor shaving.

I decided to start off with a Dovo shavette. I figured I won't have to worry about stropping until after I get the motor muscle memory down. That way in the future when I have a straight razor I will be able to discern if it's my shaving technique or my stropping that's causing any issues that arise.

Started off with my right hand(dominant). Went down the side burn, felt comfortable to do the rest of the cheek and below the jawline. I switched over to my left hand and left side of my face. Did the side burn and cheek down to the jawline. Started feeling uncomfortable when trying to angle it for below the jawline, so I stopped and finished the rest of my face with a Mach three.

I experimented on my forearm, a couple of days ago to get a feel for the angle I need to hold it at.

I look forward to doing it again and getting better.
