I ordered a presharpened Dovo 5/8 ebony and silver steel from classicshaving.com and started last week. It does seem like the razor should be much sharper. I'm thinking about sending it out to someone to go over it again. I'd like to have a benchmark to compare to, I'm just not sure that this is it.

I've got a few issues with this particular razor. 1) It seems to be too long to easily get between my sideburns and goatee. 2) I think I might prefer a heavier razor. It seems a bit lighter than I imagined.

Are their any razors out there that anyone would recommend?
