Thread: Thieres-Issard Quality Control!!!!!!!

Personally, I'm not going to accept a curved/warped blade from a manufacturer. It is unacceptable.

Yes, you can hone it, by doing all sorts of things, but in the end it will never shave you as well as a "straight" straight razor will.

If I'm spending >$100 for a new razor, it better be straight. An Ebay purchase? A $22 Wapi? Well, I take my chances there, but new from the factory? I expect quality.

I received my third curved Dovo replacement last week. It is going back as well.

I sent an email to Dovo as well.

In my opinion I don't think they will care all that much until they start seeing significant returns of defective products. TI and Dovo both have 6-9 month backlogs of orders. They are cranking the stuff out, and I'm not sure how informed most of the buyers are about what a straight should be like ("shave ready from the factory", and other such myths..) so probably 90% of what they make will go to someone who doesn't even know what they are looking at, and will be happy as a clam just to have a staright razor in their medicine cabinet.

So, I think, that if you are having aproblem with your new razor purchase, don't try to re-grind/fix the issue on your own, send it back, and tell your vendor the problem, so they in turn can tell the manufacturer that there is a problem.
