When I got the Fetaher AC, I already had afew str8s (shave ready), and I started honing after I had the Feather.
No str8 sharpened by a human will ever be as sharp as a Feather. Mine include ones from Lynn, John Crowley, David Uthe, Robert Williams, and Bill Ellis. None come close to the Feather.
Because of its sharpness, the Feather shaves like a DE. With a light touch, no pull and without the use of pressure. The sharpest Str8 will require some pressure and have a slight pull in comparison. So, questioning the sharpness of the Dovo was a good point, but don't expect anything to make it as sharp or smooth as a Feather. The Dovo needs to be a little sharper, because the difference shouldn't be that great, but it will never disappear.
You just documented the difference. Enjoy and respect that sharpness, and learn to use it.
