Thanks Ace - I'm using the Dovo longer single blade in the Shavette, which now with over a month of use, is certainly less sharp than when I bought it new. Despite this, it is much easier and more comfortable in cutting, than my straights. I'll revisit my stropping technique and see if it improves the Straight.
