When I first started out I had the same issue, bought a Dovo and the first few shaves were amazing and then after some stropping the blade seemed to be getting dull, after that I went out and bought as many shave ready vintages that I could lay my hands on and have been quietly getting on well with my shaving now.

Even learned how to touch up the dull Dovo on some honing stones and now he shaves a dream again.

Im six months down the line and though ive had my ups and downs my only advice to you is to hang tight and keep shaving!.
