Am a newbie to SR shaving and am 2 weeks in now. I started my first week using a Dovo 5/8 then got a TI 6/8 because I heard it maybe easier to learn with. Both are new razors and were honed to be shave ready by the same reputable online store before I received them.
However, I have trouble getting a comfortable shave with the TI. The Dovo shaves like a dream compared to the TI and I am not sure why. It feels like the edge on the TI isn't as sharp as the Dovo for some reason. The TI just feels like it is plowing through the beard compared to the Dovo. I wonder if I should send it back to have it rehoned? Can there be that much difference in how well different blades cut the beard?? I find myself switching back to the 5/8 Dovo in the middle of my shave because of all the touch up work I have to do.
I should mention that I tried to refresh the TI with chromium oxide paste to see if that might help and it did some. Not sure what the answer is here. Appreciate any feedback, thanks.
