Thanked: 0stropping new Dovo
Just got a Dovo best. This is my first straight razor, but I can tell it could be a touch sharper. I have a balsa strop loaded with 1 micron diamond spray and a leather strop with .5 micron diamond spray. I could finish with plain leather. I've dealt with knives a lot but this is my first straight razor. Should I be good to go with the .5 micron and then on leather or do I need to go finer? Any advice before I go after my first shave would be appreciated.
I've watched several of the videos for shaving. Also a few on the honing and stropping as well, so I'm ready for the technique. I'm glad I watched because I've done a lot of knives, but this is different to say the least.
