I recently got two identical Dovo 5/8 razor. They were on sale, so 50% means get two pay for one, right
One of the razors came with a slight frown, while the other one had slight smile to it.
The first razor i honed took a good edge in a short time with a minimal amount of effort.
However, the second razor seems to suffer from some kind of overheating, or something caused by the bevel setting grinding at the factory.
The razor will not take a good edge. When i finally got a good edge, it failed during my first shave.
I have tried without tape, and with tape. I have used different types of synthetic and natural stones, with the same results.
When i use a white shapton glass stone i need to rinse the stone frequently, because larger bits of steel releases from the razor. I have only seen this with really hard steels, like one of my Hart razors. I have never seen this with Dovo razors.
The edge have been rehoned, from bevel set three times, with the same outcome.
This is the smiling razor. To me it seems like this was corrected by someone who burnt the edge on the grinding wheel.
There is also something strange going on with the grind. My only explanation is that the spine was lifted on the grinding wheel.
Is there any hope for this type of razor. If the edge have been burnt, is there any chance of getting to "good steel" at some point?
Does anyone have any experiance with this type of issue?
