    Red face Cheers to the best shave of my life!

    I received my Dovo s/r today along with all of the vital necessities in the mail today. I immediately unwrapped the package like a child at Christmas time. I set everything up in the bathroom and took a nice hot shower. I was giddy like a little school girl. I prepped my cream, and went to work. I gently and carefully moved the razor over my skin, full aware of the injuries a sharp blade can inflict if attention is not set to purpose. My first cut was WTG. I started with my dominate hand (my right), and moved from my cheek down to my jaw bone in short strokes. I kept telling myself mentally, "30 degree angle" over and over again. When the right was finished I moved to the left side, continuing the ritual performed on the right. Now the neck line. I felt a little nervous about taking a sharp blade to my neck, but, I pressed on nonetheless. Again, I started with my dominate side and switched over to my non dominate. With every stroke I had to supress my giddiness. After 3 passes (WTG, ATG and XTG) I concluded with a alum treatment and a aftershave balm.

    The end result was a BBS face and the closest and best shave I have ever had in my life. I am so hooked!!!

    Funny this is, vie been waiting years to start straight shaving. It's been too expensive until now. It's been well worth the wait.

    It is so fun to have the whole straight shave ritual. I have been hooked for the last two years and don't see myself ever switching back to anything else. cheers on the good shave man!

    OK Joe, this one's hooked!

    You're so right, Ken. Not quite 2 yrs later & the shaves are consistently better & I love shaving now. I would never ever have thought I would have said that.

    Keep it up. 'Gets better.

    It was my first shave. That's not to say that I had no nicks but it did go much better than I thought it would.
