Howdy!

Since I already have a love of old mechanical things (pocket watches, steam engines and the like) I have been fascinated with straight razor shaving, especially after going to the barber the first time for a shave. So I bought a dovo shavette to try things out with a good sized blade sampler pack. Since I already shave with a brush and porasso shave soap and preshave cream its great to finally get the whole experience in.

I have managed to keep myself down to two or three nicks a shave, only cut myself once and my wife still thinks im nuts (first time she has ever asked me not to shave). Still get way less razor burn than I do with a standard safety razor. Looking forwards to actually learning something here and hopefully managing to get into all those stupid little spots on my face that I cant quite shave.
