I'm in a similar situation.

I received a PIF'ed Dovo Renaissance when I got started, and was grateful for the opprotunity to use such a nice razor. I've now managed to acquire a few other razors and it's time to keep this one moving, as it was a PIF to the previous owner. I don't want to hang on to it any longer and risk getting a case of bad shave/razor karma.

The two things slowing me down are (1) finding a way to determine the next person to get it and (2) getting the razor re-honed. The edge is close but not quite *there* yet, and I want to be sure to have it in shave-ready condtion when it's passed on. I've been slowly working on it with lapping films in the hope of getting it ready, but I am NOT a honemeister by any stratch of the imagination. I just haven't gotten the hang of working with stainless yet.

Would it be best to offer it up as one of the prizes for a future monthly drawing, with a caveat that it need to be honed? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
