I posted previously how i made the mistake of bringing my new Dovo razor to a knife guy who said he could do it, and everyone here said he did it wrong on some electric mill thing. I then sent it off to a straightrazorplace member to fix it and I got the razor back two days later.
I showered, lathered, etc., but when I ran the razor across my face it wasn't even close. The blade scraped across my face, and left a lot of hair.
Is this normal on the first shave? There was a bit of oil on the blade i wiped off, was that the cause?
His instructions on his site were to not strop before i used the blade and I didn't.
Honestly, the blade felt dull.
Opinions?
Edit:
I was just wondering if there was other factors than the honing before I emailed the guy that honed it; such as the oil on the blade (that I did wash off under hot water). Or maybe there's previous damage from the knife guy, or maybe i should have stroped.
