Thread: New Dovo Tortoise, problems and pictures

If you can't get it, send it to me and I will hone it up for you at the cost of postage.

from your picture the tip (as in the tip -toe of the cutting edge is worn away from where its supposed to be, probably from putting too much pressure toward the tip when you've been honing.

If you are talking about the curved toe, the part that's supposed to be curved, you're not supposed to sharpen that! but I won't insult you're intelligence and assume that, I'll assume you're talking about how the cutting edge at the tip of the razor is worn away slightly. I can't help you there, that involved major repair work.

Btw, yesterday I asked these guys the same question about my dovo "shave ready" razor and the final consensus from those who understood the problem was that dovo does a crappy sharpening job, doesn't properly set the bevel, and if you try to "touch it up" with a high grit stone you'll never get to where you need to be. You need to reset the bevel with a 1,000 grit, and you need to learn some better technique so you don't wear so much at the toe of your blade.
