I haven't experienced the situation the OP has with whiskers that won't cut, but I just got a Dovo Flowing from Vintage Blades. I saw that they had them in stock and SRD didn't and they also come honed by Lynn. I absolutely love it from the worked spine to the shoulderless heel to the fantastic scales. I really like the look of the two pins at the toe end. I have been getting great shaves with it, but will be decreasing my pressure after reading the thread linked earlier in this thread.
