Just a quick picture of the touched up line up. Spent a little time refreshing these three. Little more than a touch up on the Dovo. Left to right: Dovo (with my home made scale as the factory one cracked at the pin), Ralph Aust, and Charles Congreve (Sheffield 1829 - 1843) which I bought from Badgister in the classifieds (a great shaver).

The Dovo needs more work - some time ago my wife knocked it off the stand while it was drying and put a chip in the blade. It didn't feel right and under magnification I could see the damage. Had to go back to the 1K Naniwa to grind out the chip, and then worked it on the Norton 4/8 and up to the 12K Naniwa but it's not back to where I want it. I finish them all on CO pasted felt. It has a sharp edge - passes the hanging hair test but it still feels pretty harsh on the face. Maybe it just doesn't like my Naniwa 12K? Both of the other razors love the 12K - the Aust is incredibly sharp and I have a slice healing up nicely on my ear to prove it!
