A day of firsts!

Lathered up with the Barbus shaving cream I just got from Iwan. Put WAY too much on my face, then it took a little bit before it started "melting" into a lather. But what a lather -- thick and bubbly. I could spend as long as I wanted to in each pass, and the lather stayed put.

Also used the Dovo 4/8 from Namdnas. Looking at the light reflecting from the very edge, I worried that it might be overhoned! It delivered a great shave once I got a handle on its smaller size. Only two nicks!

I know it probably sounds goofy, me describing all these great shaves, but when you're a newbie, and your technique and gear are falling into place, they really *do* improve that fast!
