Newbie here, first straight razor shaving!
Hi guys,
New member here from Greece! My name is Apostolos 36 years old.
After 2 ½ years in traditional wet shaving with DE razors, and a lot of brushes soaps, creams, etc, I’m going now in to Straight Razor world. I just bought a Dovo 6/8 (Best Quality) and I have some issues. The shop that I bought it, told me that is professionally honed, and I have to believe it, since is a shop that for many years honing razors for professionals barbers.
The issue in that in my first and second shave, I did not have any nick, cut or irritation. The problem was that the razor wasn’t glide easily especially on difficult areas as moustache and chin. On cheek areas for example was better.
So what do you think guys? Could be a matter of honing or a technique issue because I’m a newbie?
Thanks in advance,
