Thread: Climbing the learning curve

Hey folks. Op, I'm using the Dovo Shavette just now as well. I'm no master and have only been using it for going 3 weeks now but think I'm starting to loosely get the hang of it. So as we're using the same equipment I can say I have run into some of the same problems.

1. Like some of the other guys have said I would reach over ur head to keep your hand and arm outta the way to allow you to see and still keep the skin taught.

2. Generally with a proper straight Im not too sure but from one newb to another using a shavette I use shorter strokes.

3. Like one of the guys said above I would probably pull the skin taught to the side of your Adams Apple or go over it very lightly, like only have the weight of the blade against your skin as the cutting pressure and keep an eye on your angle.

4. I use the smaller blades for the red sleeve now as when I started using the shavette I was using the bigger blades for the black sleeve and they were a nightmare, I was constantly cutting myself, one other member had asked me if they were the dovo blades I was suing ( which they were ) and had said If so to change for the smaller red ones as the Dovo blades aren't so good, which I did and the difference was night and day.

5. For cleaning the blade as Im shaving I stand at the sink with some hot water in it and a hand towel tucked into my waist or into my bath towel if Iv just gotten outta shower or bath, I would just wipe it off with that hand towel.

This is what I do when using the shavette and seems soo far to work for me, Im like you very new to this though but soo far so good these things have worked for me. Good luck and keep us Informed.

Cheers
