Good Afternoon, All,
Just signed up after deciding that I'm really done with paying $25 for 4 blades for my Gillette Fusion, only to drop 'em in the landfill within a month. So, after lurking here for a week and browsing around, I pulled the trigger on the Dovo 6/8" set that Lynn sells over on Straight Razor designs. And chipped in extra for the video, and that was probably the best $13 I've spent in my life.
When I started out to shave the first time, I didn't quite quit where Lynn told me to. :) I've got enough Native American in me, that my cheeks really don't have much on them, so I did both cheeks the first time instead of just one. The only problem I really noticed was that I think my lather was a bit too thick: I noticed it starting to dry and pull a bit by the time I got to the second cheek. So, a quick rebrush with the soap, and life was good.
And I love the Sandalwood soap that I antied up for as part of the purchase. All in all, a very satisfying experience so far.
Looking forward to learning more!
Brian
