First of all I would like to say hi to everyone. Glad to join this great group of guys. I have always wanted to learn the ART of the straight shave. Never thought it was an option as I shave every day (military) and never thought I would have the time. I have been doing some research for about 2 weeks on what to buy, the do’s and don’ts and watching a lot of how to videos. I purchased a DOVO 5/8” Best Quality Full Hollow. Seems like a great razor. I did my first shave this morning. Might sound a little weird but was so excited to use it I got up an hour early just to try it out. Kind of hard to shave when you have a huge grin on your face the whole time. Only did my sideburns and cheeks. Worked great, no knick. I think I will stick with those areas till I feel more comfortable and steady with my left hand. Glad to have found this site with so much expertise. Take care ya’ll.
