OK so I have been lurking and finally had my Dovo arrive which was shave ready Had a 3 day growth and spent plenty of time reviewing the DVD Not a bad start with short strokes but one nick @ left upper cheek I was not as smooth a shave (felt every stroke and a pulling of hairs ) guessing technique not razor Had steal hard time with under lip (moustache area ) and under chin wil give a day or two and try again Any imput is appreciated
Technique very likely is your issue here, but look at it this way: How could your technique possibly be good at this point? Your first shave attempt sounds much, much better than most, certainly much better than mine. Stay with it, progress comes with time and experience, and it does take some time. I think you're off to a great start. Congratulations!
Where in VA are you I have a hone in Onancock
