Thread: Advice required with Dovo Stainless Honing

Well, you just did 130 laps and however more you did before. That's a lot for a new razor. Most new razors require a touchup only unless the bevel is seriously involved. You might want to check that because if that's the issue you will never get it the way you want it until that is addressed. If the bevel is OK you need to change your strategy and figure out a different routine, one that works or consider sending it out.

Play with the dilutions a bit if you still cant get it after trying what the others have said. You may want to try finishing on a light slurry instead of just water, sometimes that works for me. If you keep at it I am sure you will get it.

I have found more luck honing stainless on synthetics more of a sure thing. Not saying that SS will not respond to coticules or other naturals cause they will if you have the right stone, but always get them where I want on synthetics. Nortons and Shapton glass stones are my favorite for alloyed steels.
