Well after spending on hones I realize the rock don't make the man. I understand there is a learning curve but how long? As for tools I have a 220/1K, 4K/8K, Bout with rubbing stone, a big chunk of marble tile to lap on, and even bought the RS $9.99 scope, oh yea and Lynns DVD. I guess you can't buy your way sharp. I thought I had it tonight I honed and got it sharp. I brought it in it shaved pretty good. I thought I would touch up with my Lynn honed Dovo and I wasn't near where I want to be with sharp on the old spike. The dovo just glides across my face the old spike I honed will shave but not near the dovo. Do the dovos just shave well or am I just that miserable with the rock? the dovo is a 5/8 the spike is a 4/8 wedge. I also know that any razor Lynn touched will shave better than my old junk. Will honing be like shaving and one day just click or am I destined to sending my blades back to be tuned up?

Thanks, Don
