Dovo Best Quality Never Stays Sharp
Hi,
I have a DOVO Best Quality I received over the summer. Out of the box it was shave ready and an amazing shave. I was able to touch it up for several months using a chromium pasted nylon strop and that kept it shave ready for a few months.
When it came time to hone it, I tried on my own first with the Norton 4k/8k, I was never able to get is sharper than a few passes before it started to pull, tug, and generally stop cutting...
I've sent the razor to two separate honing services now. StraightRazors.com and Howard Schechter (The Perfect Edge) and both times it's come back sharp enough for half a face before it tugs and pulls again.
I have two Gold Dollar Shavers I alternate through that I've been able to hone myself up to 12k for a decent shave, and both of these have been honed once each for a touch up with out problem. I use these daily now so I'm pretty confident in my shaving technique.
My question is regarding the Dovo, has anyone had an experience with a blade that they couldn't keep sharp for some reason? Is it possible the angle is too small now due to overhoning or maybe something else I haven't come across yet?
Feedback welcome!
