Well I really lost track of how many shaves on my rotated razors but today I decide to touch them up with some strokes on the 4k-8k-12k stones.
So this afternoon the Dovo Gentleman was put back into action and woooo weeeee what a smooth gliding razor it was again! Just like new and a close shave!
I guess I need to stay in tune to my razors pull to signal a honing session!
Well done sir. :tuIt's a great feeling when you get a razor back to shaving perfectly again. As soon as you feel a slight tug or its not quite on par bring out the 12k for a few laps. You wont be removing much steel and you'll find maintenance pretty easy.
It certainly made a big difference. Thanks.Quote:

Hi Mike,
Glad o hear touch up went well. Always a good feeling.
why the 4k? the 12k will refresh unless you have damage or really ambitious with some pasted strops tc
It has not been touched since you touched it up last Joe! I really have gotten some mileage out of it.Quote:

I'd offer to do it again Mike but sounds like you have it well sorted out. Maybe I should send a few of mine to you for a touch-up!
Joe I am in no way in your class of sharpening. Remember.............I watched you like a hawk last time during our meet to learn through visualization and record what you do to memory and store it for when I pull out the hones to touch up.Quote:

I found a site that I could get a decent deal on one that like yours and Richards comes with a slurry stone and wooden box. What do you think Joe???
I can't wait till the next meet up I know I have so much to learn from you all... I know my touch ups are no where near where they can be
