So, I bought a Wester Bros. De-Fi razor as an ebay special and have been learning a lot and quickly (and expensive) about honing and sharpening. In doing so, this is what I have picked up so far. Norton 4000/8000 combo. Two thiers-issard two sided paddle strops with these pastes: Dovo red (2-3 micron), Dovo Green (6 micron), Diamond paste (1 micron), and some chromium oxide which I assume is .5 micron; and of course, I have my illinois strop #127. Is this enough of a setup to get a decent shave? I can pop hairs pretty well after I finish with the CrO but still can't seem to get a smooth shave. Granted, I have only been shaving for about a week and place most of the finish with my lack of skill. I am worried that, these together won't be enough, or overkill for that matter. What do you think? I appreciate all help guys and love SRP!
