Focusing on my Dovo, I have tried to improve it's performance. It shaves ok, but I think it could be better (I'm a newby).
A week back, I took it through a pyamide 25 stroke routine up through 4k, 8k, 12k, ox, web, leather.
At no time could I cut a hanging hair.
Today, I set out to hone where a hair could be cut.
First I dressed my stones. I felt the DMT 320 was not working correctly (had a warp to it). So I sat it aside and used a lapping stone (pink kind with the slits in it).
Using one layer of tape I ran 60 laps on 4k.
Then 60 laps on 8k.
30 laps on 12k.
All strokes were very controlled and felt perfect for draw and feel. Very smooth.
At none of the stages could I cut a hair.
The edge looks fine under my microscope.
I'll strop and shave later, but what am I missing on the HTT.
I can't seem to come up with a change needed to achive this.
