Thanked: 2did i just screw up a perfectly honed razor?
so i just got my dovo back from lynn, freshly honed.
the first shave was amazing, and gave me my first truly successful BBS shave. yaay!
i then stropped it (60 on linen, 30 on leather) and put it away.
on the next shave, the razor wasn't as sharp.
so i bough a DMT extra-fine diamond sharpening card and tried my hand at honing my razor.
and the next shave was EVEN WORSE.
SO, which of the following is most likely happening?
1. i overhoned the razor.
2. my new dovo doesn't hold an edge for very long.
3. i need to use a coarser diamond hone, and start over.
4. i should hang up my spurs.
if you have any idea, please let me know how i can check it out, and what steps to take to correct it (especially #1).
mucho gracias,
