My new dovo is dying. I must be doing something wrong.
I recently switched from a shavette-style straight to a Dovo Best Quality 5/8 full hollow ground and the shave i get from it is amazing.
However.
As soon as I got it, I took it to Ross Cutlery in Los Angeles (it was recommended on Yelp) to get it honed. I got it back and it looked good, but I'm not a good judge of these things. It shaved well.
Then, after a few shaves I started noticing tiny chips in the blade. Then more. Then the blade is not perfectly centered when I close the scales. It hasn't been a week and my poor Dovo is suffering. I'm not abusing it, nor have I dropped it. I strop it on linen and leather before and after each shave and set it down gently on a folded towel on my bathroom counter.
I know this is not much to go on, but where might I be going wrong?
