Hello from Western Canada!
Hey Gang, glad I found this site! I went for my first 'Hot Shave' at the new barber in town and immediately had to buy a razor. It ended up being a DOVO Shavette - at that time I had no idea there was a difference between a straight razor and a shavette. Steep learning curve. After bleeding lots on my first shave, I have now gotten to a point where no blood is shed. I just ordered my first actual straight razor and can't wait to get it and give it a try. Until then, off to read some posts...
