Hi Paul! I finally figured out why I wasn't getting your videos. I had it on personal instead of all in the settings. Anyway, despite the cut, it was a nice shave. I remember you shaved with the Dovo shavette once before and you cut yourself. I am not an expert, but I have 174 shavette shaves and 185 traditional straight razor shaves. The reason why you have cut yourself is that you are not stretching your skin with your offhand. Stretching the skin gives you a flat surface for the razor to glide on your face or neck and that minimizes the cuts. DE shavers don't usually stretch their skin, so they carry that habit when they crossover to shavette/straight shaving. Most importantly, I will now get your videos on a regular basis. I know that you know how to shave, but I hope that I didn't offend you by stating what I saw as a problem with your technique. Have a great week.

Good Shave Paul, always love to watch your shaves , hats off for shaving against the grain on neck with a shavette. I haven't been able to do so yet, may be because of phobia . But will try to attempt a atg with shavette . Thanks for making this and more videos , you have inspired many people to shave traditionally 👍 Keep up the good shaves 😊👌

Hi Paul I wasn’t expecting that but something different. I bought the brush for holiday use because of the drying properties.It was my first synthetic brush and wow was I surprised how good it was. Since then I have invested in a Simpson T3 and this has been my go to brush since I bought it. It’s fantastic and I will never doubt synthetic brushes again. Not sure about the razor think I’ll stick with my Rockwell for now not ready to cut my throat just yet. Excellent floral display by Mrs H she should take a bow. Again thank you very much for your time making the video. Keep safe.

Good evening Paul! I always love the flowers; thank you Mrs. H for putting together these arrangements! You, sir, are have more courage than I when coming to shaving your own face using a straight razor/shavette. For years I practiced in the barber shop and for just as many years I'd cut into my face, usually on the chin for some reason. The blade would dig in and I would be afraid to proceed further. That said, I can give a professional straight edge shave without incident. My week has been survivable...lol. I was diagnosed with Gallstones and it is a source of pain. Covid virus prevents all but emergency surgery. Straight edge blade is very traditional, yet I prefer using a safety razor too. Honestly, I think you can get a closer shave with much more comfort and do it safely with a double-edge or single-edge razor handle. It is faster too! However, it is a good skill to have to be able to use a shavette. SOTD: King C Gillette razor loaded with a Brazilian Gillette Platinum Plus Bade (11th use). 1960 Williams Tonsorial shaving soap lathered with a That Darn Rob 26 mm BOSS synthetic brush. 3 pass plus pick-ups. The Razor and blade removed the whiskers with ease. The vintage Williams soap made a creamy and slick lather...wish they still made this soap. Finished with ice cold water rinse and Stirling Executive Man aftershave. Post shave was very smooth. Paul, you did a very nice job using the shavette. Thank you for sharing. Oh, Lidl...I loved going in there to buy breads...they had a nice selection. It is really nice to be able to know exactly where you are talking about and able to place myself there in my mind. After the virus, I will come again! Take care.
