Thread: Sharpening DOVO, almost there need help!

Sounds like you're close. I find a visual aid saves on shave tests & guess work. I use 30x Jewellers loupe.
If the scratches are even & all the way to the edge the razor is most likely sharp & should pass the HHT at various stages.
If the scratches are also reduced by polishing evenly all the way to the edge the razor will also be smooth.

Any irregularity in the brightness & scratch pattern indicates more work is needed. Talking bout stuff you won't see with the naked eye.

some guys on here have had good luck using a cheap handheld microscope from radio shack to examine thier edge i think you can plug it in to your computer i view the image even bigger

Sweet, thanks again guys. I'll try it on the 8k more to give it that mirror finish, then strop. I'll see how that goes next time I shave. Have a Merry Christmas guys, and thanks again.
