I just checked a Dovo I bought new recently. It does have hone marks, but they're narrower than the bevel as seen from the side. It's about 1/32". I guess to some that might be barely perceptible and to others not. But I think we can all agree that the razor should not come out of the factory with uneven hone marks.
