First Shave from NW Arkansas
Hi Everyone,
As the title mentions, I had my first shave last night. I started out with my dominant hand (right) and nicked my self several times. Shifted to my non-dominant hand (left) and did pretty good with no nicks. Go figure. I suspect that I was more attentive and more careful with my left hand.
I think my other problem was that I did my first shave with a pretty heavy beard of 4 days. My learning curve started out pretty high.
I am very grateful for this forum and for all of the information it contains. I am also grateful for Straight Razor Designs. I rec'd two straight razors as a gift. Both are Dovo's. One is the Prima Klang Violet 5/8 and the other is the Dovo Natural 5/8. My wife bought them for me. Am I lucky or what? I also rec'd the World of Straight Razor Shaving DVD. I watched it twice before putting razor to skin. I found it to be extremely helpful Kudos to Mr. Abrams on putting together such a wealth of information out in a very understandable format.
They were honed by the folks at SRD and because they were purchased during the holidays I can get them honed at no charge for as long as I own the razors. I suspect that will be pretty often until I get the hang of all of this.
Once again thanks for being here!
Gerry King
