    Default First stright shave

    After a four year B.S. in DE shaving, I have purchased a Dovo Best full hollow from vintage blades.

    My fist shave has been whithout blood and the only thing I managed to nick was the leather on my strop. The shave it's self has not too bad. The face is not BBS but it looks clean. Unfortuntly some neck folicles would not allow themselves to be shaved.

    Will I indulge in this madness again...yes.

    Congrats on your first shave! You'll learn something with every shave, and yes, it gets better!

    Keep it up!

    Helios, Bravo!! Very well done! (way better than I did)

    Servant tells you right - it only gets better.

    On the strop - check out the exquisit thread by the honorable gssixgun, which links Al's fabulous vids on the all important 'flip' on the strop. They're golden.

    Keep it up.

    Alright boys, this one's almost in the net already. Expect RAD to set in promptly

    Go Helios!
