I have a question about stop pastes and hones. I have a DOVO razor that seems to shaving reasonably well (as well as it's operator is capable of). So far I have been stropping it with an Illinois 827 stop - first the linen side then the leather (which I have treated with strop dressing). I have the red and black stop paste from Classic Shaving, and, per the advice of someone on this forum (can't remember who), I was planning on using the paste on an old leather belt - cut in half, each half for a different paste. Is this a reasonable plan? If so, at what point do should I use the pasted stops, and in which order. I also bought a hone - Premier hone - when should I use this. The hone apparently comes with dry hone instructions but I assume it can be used wet as well. If so, where can I find wet hone instructions and which is preferable? Whew - lots of questions - thanks in advance. Rich Greenberg
