Thread: Think I really screwed up my Dovo...

Listen to ReardenSteel.

Honing is something you should wait on till you get a bit more experience.

Send it out to get honed. Buy a cheap back up shave ready razor from classifieds so you have a back up. Practice your stropping...watch videos again and get down the feel...can use a butter knife, etc. Sounds like your stropping was the issue to begin with.

If you have a second razor, you can come back to honing a little down the road once you're used to handling the blade while shaving and stropping.

Good luck!
