Hi folks
Someone sent me a Dovo razor which he bought new some months ago, and which he kept up-to-date using only green Puma paste, with the question to render it really shave-ready. I did a quick test and indeed it barely past the HHT, not enough to give a good shave.
So I started like I always do with a new razor, pre-dull and then basic bevel setting on a naniwa 1,000 K. After about 30-40 passes I noticed this :scared: :

and on the other side:

So it looks like the blade is bent in the middle. I put the blade flat on a hone, and indeed, this is visible with the eye.
Have any of you experienced this with (new) razors ?
How would you proceed with a razor like this ?
I've been thinking of either a very small hone or ....[sub] pastes[/sub] ...
Thanks,
Wim
