Well, I went for my second shave with the new DOVO the other day (first run went about as well as expected, cheeks and chin with no major problems. Only one very small nick.) and had an amazing first few passes of the blade. I couldn't have been happier. Until, the next pass when I got too over confident and I guess went faster than I should have.
Now I have a wicked cut on my cheek that may or may not leave a small scar (I guess you could call that a close shave:tameshigiri:). :( I guess the only upside of waiting for this bad boy to heal nicely is that I'll have plenty of growth to shave off. Gotta get back on that horse, and not be afraid of a cut here or there!
My question is, how long does/did it normally take you to shave (after all prep work is done)? Also, my styptic pen didn't work worth a crap at all. I ran it under water and applied it to the cut but nothing. It just felt like a waxy piece of chalk. Any suggestions as to a better option? Styptic powder or maybe another pencil, or maybe i'm dumb and was doing it wrong.
Thanks for everyone's help, I know that without this site, I would have many more than 1 cut on my face.
