Hello everyone. I read the forums on this site and many others as well as a very thorough intro guide online. I have been nothing short of impressed with everyone and everything thus far. I recently bought my first straight, a Dovo SS 5/8 Pearlex. So far I am loving not only the shave itself but also the "ritual" involved. Using GFT Violet shave soap and Proraso alcohol free aftershave. The only issue that I am having at the moment is shavin my upper lip. Can't quite seem to get the angle right as I don't really cut the hairs well and tend to end up with razor burn. Any suggestions. The hair on my upper lip (and goatee region in general) is very thick and coarse. In any case, I just wanted to thank everyone involved in SRP for putting this together and for all the members that help us noobs out.

Daniel
