Hello everybody,

I am a beginner who started few months ago with a "shavette" and has moved to a brand new Dovo #3580 Bergischer Löwe. In the shop they told me that it was "shave ready".

I know that I am still in the learning curve, especially coming from a "shavette". Shaves are getting certainly better. However, the difference is quite big and I am starting to consider using the green part (with the paste) of the dovo hand paddle strop I bought as an alternative to send the blade to hone now. My guess is that "touching up" could potentially increase the sharpness of the blade and I could quickly assess whether the cause is, in certain measure granted my inexperience, the blade.

Comments welcome.
Many thanks!
