We have had many members also frustrated when trying to learn to hone with a similar thought process. They tell us they have sharpened knives and tools their entire lives and yet still have to learn that a straight razor is a different animal.
We have seen many many people who come on the forums with similar concerns and then come back a couple weeks later and are amazed at the difference that couple weeks of practice and learning has helped them. The Dovo Bismarck is actually one of their better shavers.
