Okay guys, my Dovo finally came in the mail today and I started my first straight razor shave this morning… I went against the beginners advice I found on the site and tackled my entire face because I felt like I had good control of the razor. I'll have to keep at it for a while because my initial shave wasn't that close. I got a couple of nick's and a bad case of razor burn near my jaw line. I'm guessing the razor burn is because of either of the angle or the pressure on the blade. When I got to my chin, which is the most coarse hair on my face, it seemed like the razor did not want to cut the hair and the shave wasn't close at all; surely it has to be my technique somehow, because this Dovo was honed by Lynn Adams.
