Well another month has flown by and I am making further progress. Thanks to Neil I now own three straights; my original Dovo that he has overhauled, a basic but nifty little Helje and an Erik Anton Berg which I think was originally one of Mikael's. :icon_razz:
I'm now able to have a complete shave in around ten minutes. I still don't, and will probably never, go against the grain on my neck, but am having some success in other areas. My jaw line is still a bit tricky. Even with skin stretching I'm often left with too much stubble for my liking. Oh, and I find the bit below my left side-burn a pain as I keep nicking myself there. But apart from that I seem to have got the hang of things. I reckon my next purchase will be a better strop...and more straights...? :blush:
