My first razor was a Dovo Astrail, Paul at Classic Edge honed it before he sent it, nothing else was done and it was new.
I must have been lucky because i have refreshed it, even killed the edge and started from bevel setting once which was scary because it was my best razor.
Anyway it hones fine and shaves fine, its a lot sharper now i have improved and over the years it will get better and better but like i say, I've had no trouble with it
I did cut myself last week with it, i was wielding it with wild abandon and i poked my face, the opposite side to wear i was shaving, i almost laughed but it was too annoying.
