I have a Dovo Astrale 5/8 that I bought new from Lynn and he sharpened it. I have 8 shaves on it. I go back and forth between that and a Shavette. I'm getting really nice shaves with the shavette. The Dovo has a hard time cutting the hair on the first pass, once I get pass the first pass it seems to do pretty good. The amount of resistance I get on the first pass makes me nervous, one slip with that amount of pressure and well I don't even want to think about it.

I gave up this morning trying to get that first pass, went to the shavette and everything was good. Is it time to take it to a stone?
