Morning all...

I just experienced my first shave with my new Dovo All Stainless Steel 5/8 straight razor.

It wasn't what I expected, but in a good way. The shave was amazingly close. I did manage to nick myself in a few places (ow....ch) but I had my "nick relief" powder, so that worked out ok. Maybe it's just me, but I found it challenging doing the right side of my face, because I'm right handed. I didn't feel comfortable at all using my left hand. I tried with my left hand, but the level of comfort just wasn't there, so I stuck with the right hand. The chin & mustache areas were the most difficult. That's actually where I nicked myself in several areas.

Suggestion : It would be nice to have a "My First Shave" section somewhere in the forum, so newbies can post there, and have answers to FAQ listed there as well. Just a thought.
