I bought my Dovos not long ago, more or less a year I would say. I'm not sure when was the buyout you were referring to, but if that was over a year ago, the quality is still terrible. 1 in 3 is a way too high defect rate.

Regarding Chinese razors, I guess I'm done with them at least for now. I was just curious on how good/bad those dirt cheap razors can be and I've just tried it myself. To me, all but the Kure Nai worth what I paid for, the Kure Nai although I managed to get it shave ready, but if the ground was just a little bit more off, I couldn't have made it. But even if they worth the prices, it still does not make sense for me to do it as it's way too much effort required.
