New col conk razor from whipped dog
I got my Col. Conk Dovo best quality the other day. Oddly enough it doesn't actually say Dovo anywhere on it (on the other side of the tang it just says Solingen Germany). I know Larry hones his razors before sending them out, but I found it wasn't quite there for me as it had too much tug/bite. I gave it 7 or so light passes on my Naniwa 12K ,which improved it a good amount, but I think it needs another 5-7 more strokes to really glide through my beard comfortably. Here's a pic.

Very nice. I didn't know conk had razors commissioned for them. Learned somethin' new today.
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

It wouldn't say Dovo on it because Conk wants you to think it's their razor.

Makes sense. It came in the black Dovo box, not the blue rounded one. It's my first Dovo so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I definitely notice that the carbon steel is easier to hone than stainless...stainless is a pain in my back lol
I dig the pearl scales as well.

The blade itself is a bit lackluster, anything simple I can do to shine it up a bit?
