Dovo Shavette
Dovo Blade
Alum
Grapewood Balm and AS
2 x Plasters
Took delivery of a Dovo Shavette and blades that were kindly sent to me from FrenchBlades, had to wait for a friend to go before I could go and have a play.
Anyway preped with a hot face scrub thing with little balls in, then rinsed and used a hot towel
Created an amazing lather, really am starting to get good with my lathers now
A WTG pass with the shavette, kinda poohing myself, both sides of the face with my dominant hand (Right) no nicks or weepers, I was very surprised, it cut like a dream and to be honest I could have got away with 1 pass but thought 1 more pass as it went so well.
So second pass, can't really say it was XTG it was kinda criss XTG AND I thought I would try using the same hand as the side of the face I was shaving, this started fine, right hand side brilliant, left side was going good, then all of a sudden SLIP a nice 1cm slice into my face near my ear and the blood starts to flow, I shrug and continue and do my chin, then SLIP a nice vertacle cut down the centre of my chin more blood pouring.
My face is starting to look like scorcese,
Rinsed, cold towel (good job it was a blue towel not white) plenty of alum, another cold compress, balm, AS and then as still bleeding, 2 silver plasters
May have cut myself BUT boy what a nice experience and shave it was, a little more practice and I think I could be a convert.
