    I definitly have the bug because I find myself thinking about shaving when Im at work, and the other day while I was at an Air Conditioning Seminar I was sitting next to a guy and I could swear he was wearing Bay Rum , then I thought to myself I wonder if he straight shaves. lol. I was almost going to start up a conversation about shaving but then I thought he might think Im some kinda freak .

After using these razors I thought I would not like the DOVO anymore but when I used it tonight I really like it too. I ended up shaving with 3 different razors tonight, putting one down , picking up the other , One in each hand shaving the left side of my face with the chopper , then right side with the DOVO. This is crazy , and no nicks yet. Im worried that when I finnally do nick myself it's going to be bad. It seemed to me with the heavy chopper being so quiet I really had to pay attention to what I was doing, I am used to hearing the sound the DOVO blade makes and I kinda know whats going on.
    Mike did you find it diffrent to shave with a smiley blade?
    often thought about it
    did it take more or less passes to complete your shave?

    Yes I found it very different , I actually liked it better. It kind of hard to explain but it was almost like I was rocking the razor rather than just pulling it straight down. It seemed like I took about the same amount of passes, I wasnt really paying attention to that but it didnt take me any more or less time to shave.

    You're making me nervous. Is this what I have to look forward to? Should I get out while I still have a chance? I'm starting to visit this forum more then any other website. I don't want to catch "the bug."

    I think it may be a bit too late. It's only scary now, in no time you'll be loving it and considering it the best thing since sliced bread

    I never thought this would happen to me and Im not even sure if I like it, I have so many other manly hobbies, guns, motorcycles, strip joints, Now when I see a guy who looks freshly shaven Im wondering what kind of stuff he uses to shave with and am almost curious to ask, I need to stop shaving for a while and get back to strip joints.
