I would say, if you are new and unsure who to believe at face value, PM and ask. Ask a person how many Dovo's they've honed themselves, how many of those had faults, how many razors they've honed, how long they've been honing, etc. I'm not saying the people you link to are not credible or anything, but talk to the senior guys who have honed hundreds of Dovo's, or even hundreds of razors and only tens of Dovos, and you'll get a very different picture.

Yes, I'm sure Dovo has produced some poorly made razors, but the problem is that people make it sound like they produce mostly poorly made razors. Consider how many razors Dovo manufactures and look at how few negative posts there are about them.

Also, saying a razor has a poor grind is like saying the door to a brand new car will not stay closed.
