Thread: I'm having troubles :/

Seems strange, that Dovo should shave just fine and I've only heard good things about The Invisible edge. I'd advise that you send it back to them to see what they can do, but now that your brother has had a go at honing it they probably aren't going to do much for you.

I have two Dovo razors, the both give great shaves. One is a Best Quality and the other a Flowing. I use the cheaper Best Quality everyday with no problems.

im going to agree with you on that. just had a bq shave after a long week of sheffield wedges and it feels amazing!

Lots of people use razors bought used for less than $50.00, gave them a clean and hone and they shave as well as high priced new ones. No, I don't think throwing money at a new more expensive razor is the solution.
When you got it back from being honed did you strop it before your first shave? If you did you really don't know what the blade was actually like when you got it back. If you are new to straights and stropping you may have degraded the edge by stropping it.

Hi, thanks for the comments. I didnt strop the blade before use after it was honed because i think the invisible edge informed me that it was honed and stropped.
Its baffling, i know.

I think the blade is incapable of becoming surgically sharp. It came shave ready and the invisible edge probably did a fine job on it.
I have just bought a Baxters of California blue steel razor . Ill pack up the Dovo and forget about it, i've wasted enough time, effort and cash on it already.

Pack it up and send it my way if you are just going to forget about it.
