So after a bunch of shaves with DE, then a bunch more with the Dovo shavette, I received my Dovo Best Quality 5/8 today, and promptly had my first shave with it. A few things I learned thus far.

1) It is, as was told to me, significantly smoother than the shavette.
2) The shaving angle is a lot less forgiving than with the shavette.
3) I need a lot more practice.

That said, I loved it, and I didn't cut myself. (Win win) Afterward I wiped it down and stropped it, hopefully I did an OK job. Currently I only have the shaving cream I purchased with my AoS starter kit, which I enjoy, but there is not much to it and after being on here I see how overpriced they are. Now I'm scouring for my next lather, tossing the idea around of trying a shave soap next. Any recommendations? I've been using the Lavender AoS of shaving cream.
