Thread: First full shave/NOT SO GOOD!!!

Couple questions:

1) What razor are you using?
2) Where did you buy the razor?
3) Who honed it?
4) What type of prep are you using?
5) Are you using a soap/cream & brush to generate lather?
6) Did you try to do a multipass(WTG/XTG/ATG) shave on your first go?

1) Its a 5/8 DOVO
2) I got it at "THE ART OF SHAVEING"
3) They told me it was shave ready!!
4) As far as my preps....A nice long hot shower, then a little baby oil.
5) I'm currently useing Williams Mug Shaveing Soap and a good brush
6) yes tried a multipass WTG then XTG that were it got me!

I am guessing this is probably the problem. AOS does not do razor honing.

I have never owned a razor from them though, So I will wait for someone else to comment.
