Does that Dovo have a frown or is it the photo?
If you aren't sure do this test. It could explain a lot.
Probably from a rotary disc hone, too much pressure and a “convex” stone. It is a common problem with new Dovo’s. A motorized rotary hone can put on the equivalent of hundreds of laps in a few seconds. And if the razor is convexed on one side, the middle may be all that is making contact. It does not take much to make a frown.
It is an easy fix though. The above test will quickly tell you the condition of the edge and can save a new honer a lot of headache.
Both of those razors appear to have a frown.
