Hi - first post here and been spending the past week just looking thru the forum. I have tried the Dovo Shavette a year ago but made myself so raw that I swore I would never again try such a lethal instrument on my face. Well that was a year ago and I must be stupid...

I have been using a Merkur DE razor for a few years now and I have decided to send a straight I had from my grandfather to Larry at Whipped Dog for honing.

Anyway, I still cut myself every day with the safety razor so I've alot to still learn. Heck, I would cut myself with a Mach 3 every time as well which is why I used electric for 15 years before trying the DE which I really love using. My face just must be crazy sensitive.

So here begins my journey...
