I recently received my straight razor.
After having used a DE for a few months, I'm intimidated..
A few questions to start with..
1. How can you tell that the razor is sharp enough to shave with? It's a brand new Dovo- but I don't know if it's stropped enough.
2. Is it within the norm to use the right hand (the dominant one) to shave both sides of the face- or does one have to get used to using both hands.
3. In terms of lathering- is there a difference between what's required for DE vs straight?
4. How critical is the angle of the razor?
