Thread: I really really wanted to believe Dovo but!!!!

So everyone says that razors from the factory are not shave ready although the DOVO site says they are and should not hone them. Well, If I knew how to post a photo of my face you could definitely tell-- IT IS NOT TRUE -- I have other Dovo's that were professionally honed and they are wonderful I received a Prima Klang in the mail yesterday and in the package was a copy of what DOVO says on their site so I said to myself SELF lets try it. Did not have a happy ending. Well there you have it my experience with a FACTORY SHAVE READY.

I'm sorry for your experience. Lesson learned?


Maybe try arm hair first next time?

Lots of folks find it hard to believe a quality manufacturer would misrepresent the facts, but in the case of shave ready, many do.

Yes, this is true. "Shave ready" is sometimes used to help sell a product. The face doesn't lie.

Well I guess this answers my question. I just received my Dovo Bismark straight razor and was going to wait to the weekend to try it out, just it case I tore my face up from either it not being truly shave ready or just my inexperience. I was going to get on here and ask if the claim of "shave ready" razors from reputable manufacturers was honest, I guess that answers that.

That is rather disappointing, I am in Parkersburg, WV and very much doubt there is someone local that can hone my razor, which means sending it out to, well, no offense, but to someone I do not know and have little reason to trust.

You forgot, "I'm from the government, I'm here to help." Though that is a little long. "Government Assistance"

If you go to 'member services' in the SRP classifieds you'll find members who hone razors for a nominal fee, including Lynn Abrams, the man who started SRP and has honed literally thousands of razors. Next to each members name, in member services, is a number that you can click on to read customer feedback. I haven't heard of any who 'can't be trusted' and if that became the case they wouldn't be here long.

Thank you, I will look into that.
