Hi
Today I recieved my DOVO razor, and tried out my first open razor shave.
Yes... I did read all the coments about getting expert honing. Due to complicated Norwegian mail rules, ordering from internet is slow, and could take months. I wanted to try out a open razor shave as soon as possible.
I also got confused by the Norwegian store and the DOVO sharpening service. My thoughts were, if they did sharpening service, the new blades would also be good.
Anyone know how sharp they are compared to expert honed?

Do anyone know if the DOVO sharpening service is any good? (not new razor?)

I now consider several options..

1 To get another DOVO razor and a hone. Start shaving with one and start learning to hone on the other one. I realize I might not get a very good shave in a long time, but I will learn.
How hard is it?

2 To order shave ready razor. Then I will not start shaving in several months...Because of the Norwegian mail/tax rules, and I am travelling a lot.

3 Get a shavette, and honing stone for the razor. Maybe the way to go?

Would be good if anyone experienced with honing could help.
