To be fair though I've read that about a lot of new razors, not just Dovo. I've never read any negative reviews of Dovo, and I apologize for the confusion if I made it sound that way. I just thought it was unusual for a newer razor to hav
more wear than a vintage blade and thought it may have been due to the wayit came from the factory. Of course most things which aren't purely machine made will be slightly different. I really like the razor even with the wear and would definitely buy another if I found a nice deal. Thanks for all the responses, I'll post pics in a few hours.
I'm curious as to what you are saying here. You say you've heard new dovo's need work to finish and are not perfectly ground, but you also say you've never read any negative reviews of Dovo's, nor have you visited any other shaving sites.

The question is, where did you read/hear about dovos and what did you read/hear?

It seems pretty clear that you took whatever you read/heard as true. Unfortunately, you made the easy mistake of believing a less than credible source. I know as a new guy, it's not always easy to tell who is and who is not credible. I made the same mistakes myself when I was new - if you search you'll find old posts by me saying things like "new razors are poorly made" and "you can't shave off an 8k." I wish I could find and delete all those posts, but at least now I know better.
