    just wanted to introduce myself I'm emef 2506 and just about to start straight shaving
    i'm sure i'll have plenty of questions, As I have only borrowed a straight from my barber ( it was a test) and wow I really liked it. So here I am, I've done quite a bit of research and ordered my own and when it arrives I'll be off and running. Does anyone have an opinion of the Dovo best quality 6/8 , it seemed to be the right way to go as I'm just beginning

    Hi emef2506, welcome to SRP.

    Does anyone have an opinion of the Dovo best quality 6/8 ?

    +1. An excellent first razor. Did you purchase it "shave ready", that is, sharpened by the vendor since leaving the factory?

    Hard to go wrong with any Dovo razors. Have fun with your new hobby!

    the DOVO is fine, not just for a beginner. I would say, 6/8 is more of a sword than 5/8. 5/8 is probably a bit more easy, but You will be able to manage each of them.
    If Your barber is into it and You're not getting it from him, ask him to check it for sharpness or let him hone it before you start (unless You get it from a source that sells truely shave ready)

    Hi to all , I took my first shave with my own razor and it was quite different from the shavette I borrowed got a few nicks and slight burn, guess this one will take a bit to get the handle of. otherwise it was a very satisfying experience. the following day My shave improved my feel is getting better. will go at it again tomorrow ( give my skin a little time to calm )
    I have a couple of questions though 1. can I change my grip on the razor or is there just the one way of holding it, its a little awkward trying to shave under my jaw line in the standard grip . 2. I wear a goatee and found it difficult to use the heel of the blade to shave around it, is there a better technique? I welcome any advice
    Regards
