Proper hone question from newbie
Okay I'm new to straight shaving as well as forums so please bear with me. I bought a dovo from classic shaving that was "presharpened." When I tried to use it i found that it was a quite uncomfortable shave. I then tried the hanging hair test and it failed miserably. So much for "presharpened." I wAs going to hone it but I do not have a barber's hone. I do however have a 6k Japanese water stone for use with other cutlery. My question is whether or not this stone will get my razor to a truely shave ready state. I'm not opposed to buyig a different hone for monetary reasons I just really want to shave now. Any help will be appreciated.
