Welcome
I bought a Dovo from AOS back in July and after stropping got a great shave right out of the box. I use it about once a week and it still gives me a close shave today. Maybe I just got lucky.
If it's not giving you a close shave have it honed. Then you'll know what a close shave is.

Hello ScrewGillette,
Welcome to Straight Razor Place. As some of these gentlemen have suggested, send the razor to a hone master and start on the right foot with a truly "shave-ready" razor. In my experience, most razors with a factory edge are not quite shave ready.

My dovo, purchased this week, seems to have exactly the same problem. But then again it could be my style or lack of it. I'm going to send mine away for a hone so at least can eliminate the sharpness issue. At least I'm not the only one by
sounds of it.
