Man - I love wet shaving. So were I to shave but once a week, I would so make the most of it . That would mean a straight for me, but then I guess I have quite a bit of experience with them.

I love my DE's - don't get me wrong. You'll love yours too were you to get one. They are pretty inexpensive to get started on too. It might just work wonders.

But all said and done, I would want something more "fun" were I to be shaving but once a week. Hence I would save my penny's and get me a Feather Artist Club (aprox $100). Best of both worlds, and you don't need to stress the honing.

What I wouldn't do is sell the Dovo. I know money can be tight, but if you can, hang onto it. Having that thing in your bathroom is bad-ass. I have a few that are in a cheap Hobby Lobby book frame hanging in my bathroom just for looks . And - you might change your mind. I went on and off straights often before committing.

Good luck!

*EDIT* - and note too - a Feather will go through (on average) a full beard like butter... like butter I say .
