I've said here before, I've never had luck with the new production Dovo razors, the two I had (one given away), even though honed by separate pro honers, seemed always to leave outright stubble everywhere, patches of stubble, frequently skipped over my face, never had a great shave with one - I have about 100 SR's, and have only had this problem with the new production Dovo's - just my opinion and my experience, but frankly, I'd try any other razor, get an inexpensive one "shave ready" from the Classifieds and give it a try - my bet is it might make most of your problems go away, or at least drastically reduce your problems.
