I bought a straight razor several months ago. Shaved great for a while, I realized that I was ready to hone my Dovo. The problem I have is that it seems that this Dovo wasn't laying flat on the hone. It seems the blade is slightly lifted towards the middle. I tried sharpening the razor, the heel and tip ended up real sharp, no problem passing the hanging hair off a 12k chineese stone. I have heard warped razors are fairly common, where my problem comes in is that this is a brand new $90 Dovo razor. It came presharpened, so whoever sharpened it must of componsated for the warp. I have shaved several razors (ebay specials) and have been able to get them shave ready, I am having real trouble with this one. My question is, what should I do. I purchased the razor from classicshaving. Should I contact them and ask for a replacement. Should I try a rolling x pattern to sharpen it? Like I said, if I had spend $15 on ebay this would be no big deal, but this is a brand new Dovo razor. Any advice would be appreciated.
