Hi Guys. This is my first post here and I thought I might be able to ask you guys a few questions. I'm new to straight razor shaving, been using a straight razor for 2 weeks now. The razor I'm using is a dovo shavette with the black sleeve. The problem I'm having is that when I'm shaving with it , it feels as though the blade isn't cutting the hair but pulling it out and is almost painful when shaving, I've tried changing the angle of the blade to my face yet it doesn't really seem to make any difference and when I'm done, even with 2 passes I've still not really got a very close shave. I always shave straight after a piping hot bath and use pre shave oil and lather applied with a badger hair brush, where am I going wrong? The other thing I wanted to ask you guys is, do you think its actually easier to shave with a conventional straight razor as opposed to a shavette, as the shavette uses feather blades that are that sharp and quite flimsy so cut you really easily ( not that a normal straight razor wouldn't ) or is it just my inexperienced Imagination? Thanks for any Input and Info in advance guys.
