Well, Shave 2 on day 2 went a lot better, still got a little razor burn, but not much, added to my collection of little lines across my neck & chin, but actually a pretty good shave..... if you dont count the blood :-)

shave three - day 3. I went back and read some more yesterday, because it seemed my SRD honed Dovo prima klang wasnt very sharp... amazing how much sharper it got when i read a little and discovered my angle was all wrong - doh. still better shave than yesterday, no more issues with the razor tugging and no razor burn - thanks to the advise - just try to remove the lather, not cut your wiskers. this was a good mental picture for me

One odd thing i have noticed is that the quality of the shave seems to improve through the day. With a DE, if there was an area that didnt get shaved well and i could feel some slight stubble, that was just how it would be through the day, With the straight it has seemed that 30 - 60 minutes AFTER the shave those rough spots have greatly diminish and my face is smother... cant quite figure it out...... but i like it

Thanks everyone!
