My new Dovo should not do this!
Not at all happy here... I picked up a new Dovo 5/8" a couple of weeks ago as a daily shaver (giving my vintage blades a rest during the week). After my 8th or so shave with the new Dovo, there was some discomfort. I rinsed it off, went back over to the strop, and immediately noticed two small chips near the tip of the blade on the bevel edge. :(
These are small, but certainly visible to the naked eye. I'm dumbfounded as to their origin - I'm always quite careful when handling my razors; never touching the washbasin or the faucet, and I strop carefully.
I've since put in an e-mail to the service department at the vendor via which I purchased the razor to inquire about a replacement. Barring them stepping up and exchanging the blade for me, I assume the only way to repair this is to have the blade breadknifed to flatten the chipped area, then re-honed, shortening the blade width 1/16" or so.
Here's a (very poor) photo of the damaged blade tip - unfortunately, to see the chip, I had to get the camera so close it could not properly focus:
