Thread: Dovo seems to dull quick

I'm having the same problem (dull edge) with the exact same razor. I'm still trying to figure out if it's due to bad stropping technique...
Strangely, my recently restored Joseph Rogers keep it's edge much better.

Difference between modern, and vintage steel.
I had to totally rehone mine, after close inspection, I noticed there was a frown in the blade that ran the whole length of the blade. Once I raised the toe and heal, reset the bevel, and honed it out, it shaves great now.
But its still wrong to me, that the blade is pitting this early in life, when in relative time my late 1700- early 1800 razor would be considered new, in comparison.
