I have something similar to this, just not dovo branded. To be honest it does its job, but I think it is overpriced. Maybe have a look into Tony Miller's site. Whilst I don't have any of his strops...

I cannot shave straight from the 8k. I have to go to a pasted strop or at least a coticule before I find it comfortable to shave.
I guess its just a matter of finding out what your skin needs.
