I've been a reader for quite some time and finally decided to take the SR plunge. About a year ago, I made the change from the Gillete Mach-whatever to a DE razor. I loved the difference in shave and the price.

I went ahead and purchased a Dovo 5/8 hollow SR from Vintage Blades and have experienced my first SR shave.

Overall my experience was good. The side of my face was the smoothes I've ever had, but it came at a cost of small cuts.

Shaving under my chin seems like a undefeated task that I'll never conquer. I had to use my DE to complete shave.

Shaving my sideburns seemed impossible as well as I can't see what I'm shaving when both my hands are up there.

I plan on giving the SR at least 6 months before I give a verdict as far as shaving.

Any tricks or tips can anybody share to help me through this learning curve?
