I used my Dovo Shavette today. I got a nice BBS without any irritation and a tiny nick under my chin.
Before I went to traditional straights, I started on a Dovo Shavette. To me, it was a good tool to learn technique and angle so transitioning to straights was easy. I still use my Dovo shavette when I don't feel like stropping, but want a very close and smooth shave. In fact, I will be using it this month because I undertook a 30 day challenge on this site. If interested, it is the 30 day shave club thread. They change themes every month. This month, it is Shavette and Jeeves January. Check it out!
