Sounds like you have a very sensible approach to learning to hone. From what you have said of your shave after touching up the Dovo I am guessing you are on your way to being able to maintain an edge. I hope when you get your other one back you get a pleasant surprise and see you are not that far off the mark and I think you will. I'd be interested to hear your comments on the differences between the two.
