Thread: Third Straight shave, first cut, and a question

Hi,
I performed the third straight shaving tonight and got the first cut.
It is not that bad, only half inch long and some white stuff exposed (body
tissue I guess, and no blood shed).

I just got greedy and started to practice my techniques with
multiple passes. For a moment, I lost the track of the blade, and
bingo- a cut. I will be more careful next time.
Anyway, I ended up with a "presentable" face (far from BBS though).
I could be proud of myself because I did not cheat using my DE.

One question:
I was using the DOVO best quality from SRD for the first time.
Although the blade is sharp (has to be), I can feel the resistance of
the skin (or hair) quite strong to prevent the blade from moving smoothly.
BTW, I applied minimum pressure and treated the DOVO as a light saber.

Is this because my angle of blade too narrow or the lather I made too thick (sticky?)? Or the problem may
be my motion is wrong. I will watch more shaving on youtube before I start the fourth one.

Thank you.
