Hello everyone, here's my situation: I own 2 DOVO's (a Bismarck and a Flowing), the Bismarck I got it from Straight Razor Designs after the Flowing (not from SRD), the bevel on the Flowing was quite good straight out of the box, but evidently the edge honed by Lynn on the Bismarck was better, however there wasn't a screaming difference between them. After a few months the edge on the Flowing stopped performing the way it did. I tried to hone it but I think I might have made it worst (I tried to hone it with tape on the spine).
Here's my question: Should I make an attempt to reset the bevel with tape, then hone it ou should I just hone it assuming the bevel is good? I know most of you guys will tell me to send the razor out to a honemeister, but I live in Brazil, so we can scratch that possibility, I need to do it on my own.

The equipment I have available for the task is: a norton 4/8K, a naniwa 12K, and some ChOx.
What do you guys think?
