so I just got my kit that included a dove ebony. I ordered the silver steel but I got the stainless. I used it before I realized it so they wont let me return it. I paid for it to be honed but I am having alot of probs with it. it fails the hht.it doesnt cut my beard at all. it pulls at my whiskers and I end up with a shave that is not close at all and my face hurts. it was honed by lynn so I must be missing something.
