This morning's shave was my Dovo Bismark. I can not make that razor perform. It has been honed by Lynn, Cudarunner and myself. It seems to pass all the "sharpness tests" equally well as any other razor I own but consistently delivers the worst shave. Even my reworked Gold Dollar seems to do better!

The only thing I can point to is the design of the blade, 6/8 hollow grind with no stabilizer. Making it and my GD the widest unstabilized hollow grounds I own. I am thinking it allows too much flex at the edge. It is that or it is just a "hangar queen!" Thoughts?
