Ok so I've been using a straight razor for about a month and it's tons of fun. My two best razors I have are two Dovo's. One is a 5/8 and the other is the Shavette that you can change the blades (not lazy, just wanted to try it out). I also have a few other less than great razors that I have been practicing honing with. I have a 4000 waterstone and an old fashioned barber hone I got my hands on. I've watched numerous vidoes and read hundreds of threads on the process of honing. I took one of the blades and started to try it out. The blade on the razor was very dull (wouldnt cut hair on my arm). Sat here for at least an hour doing pyramids with the two hones. No progress at all....what could be the problem? I know I am using a light touch and the razor does have a bevel on it. Any ideas would help! I'm a complete newb at this
