    Default Trying to get new Dovo into shave ready condition...

    I did a honing pyramid on Norton 4k and 8k starting at 20 laps with light pressure as described in the wiki. I finished with about 25 laps on a 12k and then stropped lightly 10 strokes on synthetic canvas treated with CrO then stropped on leather for 50-60 strokes. I cannot for the life of me get a perfect HHT. Hairs catch and snap off but I can't get to the point where they just fall away. Tried shaving and it was very bad. Here are some pics at 40x... Please help!
