Straight Razor, pearl-white Dovo Straight Razor 6/8" Pearl White Bismarck

Apply a generous amount of shaving cream or oil to your face. Hold the razor with the open handle facing away from you. Use your free hand to stretch the skin on your face to create as straight an area as possible. Position the razor at an angle of about 30° and gently scrape the beard. Start by shaving along the grain, then across it, and finally against the grain.

During shaving, avoid rinsing the blade under running water. It is much better to use a pre-prepared lint-free towel, as moisture can damage the blade and make the razor harder to glide. After shaving, the razor should be thoroughly dried. Use a strop for honing and sharpening the blade.
