I know it is different, but I have gained some technique through the use of a shavette. I saw it as an inexpensive way to test the waters. Is the dovo shavette that different from a dovo bismarck that i would not be using a good approach to my face? I really like everything involved with straight razor shaving. But the shavette does a great job, when i took the bismarck to my face it was tugging really bad, and had much trouble cutting arm hair much less even attempting to cut a hanging hair. i have done nothing but read for a week and a half now. everyone makes mistakes, im not sour at the .com i used, just want to know how to get my razor to shave. Maybe i will send it to Lynn and go from there.
