When I bought my first Dovo Special Tortoise, that reading threw me off and I alternated between my Dovo and my disposable straight razor. This just delayed me in figuring out how to keep my Dovo continually sharp and effective for everyday use.

I strop a little before and more after each shave with this Dovo.. Every two shaves, I added in 15 passes on my .50 micron pasted 4 sided paddle strop after the shave. This keeps my Dovo special sharp and effective to my preference. I tested this razor out for 14 shaves straight and it did well. It only rested for 24 hours before each shave.

So I think if there is a "fin" it straightens out less than 24 hours. If it didn't, my pre shave stroping made it straight.
