I’ve used a straight blade for a couple of decades, and never needed to have one honed for me. My present razor (I’ve owned two) is a Solingen stainless (DOVO En Vogue No. 105) and it has served me very well with proper care and use of a strop.

One of my shavettes is a Dovo. In my research, I’ve seen that Dovo is a go-to straight razor.

Do you do your own sharpening/honing? Besides stropping, I mean?

Or do you not need it at all?
