Hey fellas,
i started shaving with non sharpening straight razor about 2 weeks ago and now i converted to a dovo best quality razor.
it came shave ready and and i successfully accomplished my first shave today after the shower.
i used some colonel's soap and made the lather and allowed to sit on my face for a few minutes while i whipped up some more, and re-applied and had a go at it.
the only question i have is that it took me about 15 mins to accomplish it, but it wasn't because i was going to slice my nose off, it was because it felt sort of like the stubble was too thick.?..? sort of like it was catching. its not that i had a face full of fuzz, it was just short of 5 o clock shadow.
any suggestions? more "beard prep"? maybe some olive oil or some sort of pre shave stuff?
strop some more? ( the instructions said not to strop it since it was shave ready, it was purchased from vintage blades llc )
thanks in advance-
Raf
