I need help! i just bought a new Dovo about three weeks ago. I've been doing some reading and found out that my razor really wasn't "shave ready" Anyway, after shaving every other day it got better with every strop and my face no longer burned. I decided to try and hone my razor for the first time to see what it felt like to shave with a real shave ready razor. So, I got a great deal on a Norton 8000 for 65$ and I couldn't pass it up so I got it. It's the only stone I own right now but I figured since there was nothing wrong with my blade it would be perfect. Well, after I honed it for a while it wasn't sharp at all pretty much. It wasn't rough on my face but just smooth and only cut a couple of hairs off my face. I then decided to strop it with my white Dovo paste on the cloth side then on the plain leather side and it got somewhat back to where it was before I tried honing it but not exactly as sharp as it was. What should I do? I 'm so bumed right now I love my razor and don't want to mess it up. I also just ordered a new Dovo 5/8 square point with the gold spine that is so beautifull. I definatly don't want to mess that one up. Please help.
