getting a dovo stainless steel shave ready
I purchased a dovo stainless steel 5/8 razor and a 4000/8000 grit japanesse whetstone. I have honed it to the best of my ability and still can't pass the hanging hair test. I have heard that stainless steel take more honing than carbon steel. Are there any suggestions?
Wish I knew what the obstacle was.
I had a 105 when I was learning to hone. It wasn't any harder than any other razor.
I'd still have it if there was more meat on the shank. 'just a bit hard to hole the tiny shank w/ large hands.
If you need a hand, PM me. 'Be glad to help.
