About 9 months ago I bought Dovo straight razor (# 415 5846) along with a strop, cream and brush.
It was impossible to shave with it, it pulled and got stuck on individual hair follicles. I figured I just have to get better at it and so I tried doing that for over 3 months. I watched many tutorials and kept working on my stropping technique every day. I kept at it by trying to shave small and easy sections of my face daily by going with the grain and experimenting with different angles. It just could not give an acceptable shave after all that, not a close shave at all and lots of irritated skin from all the pulling. I would just finish up with my old cheap cartridge razor, which gave a significantly better shave.
At this point I was so disappointed; I gave up and put the razor aside. I still want this to work and I’m ready to give it another go.

Any suggestions on where I can send my razor to get a serious edge on there that will finally be able to get the job done? I am located in the U.S., Philadelphia area.
