I have been having a problem with sharpness from the git go:rant:. I thought it might be my honeing. It was suggested I get my razor honed by a pro so I would have something to go by. I bought another DOVO, this one really shave ready, (honed by Lynn) and now I have 2 full hollow
5/8 DOVO razors to play with. When my new one was in need of a touch up I honed both using just the bottom end of the pyramids on my 4k/8k Nortons, followed by red paste on the cloth side of my first strop a 1&3/4"
Dovo. Next I stropped only the new razor on my new 3" latigo, the leather only. Next I tried shaving with both razors. The one I finnished only with the paste was good and sharp, shaved very well, with just a little pull. The razor I finnish stropped on the leather was real smooth but didn't cut very well at all. So my question is what am I doing wrong on the leather stropp? I follow all the advise I have gotton here, and on Lynn's DVD.:soapbox:
