Thanks, that pretty much what I assumed. It's still a nice razor even with the hone wear. Ill send it out anyway. I can't complain, it was free after all.

Also, please explain how what I said was a contradiction of terms. I'm not trying to argue, I know very little about razors. From what I've heard new Dovos can be warped or uneven which I always assumed was because they weren't properly ground. Ive never really researched it though
