Thread: Remote assistance required - to hone a razor

Hi,

I have been a member for some time and shaving every day with a straight for the past few years - something I look forward to every morning.

Right when I started my brother in Belgium sent me a Dovo Black Star razor - my first. Since then I acquired quite a few more and I am fortunate to shave with a different razor every day of the week.

I have never successfully honed a razor and only tried with one the Dovo (before I was a member at SRP) which I royally messed up - I am sure it will be easy to spot in the pics. Recently I got a Norton 1000 and 4000/8000 and I would like to try my hand at getting the Dovo into shape. As I live in Africa I cannot drive across to someone to assist me in fixing this Dovo.

Since I have a good camera I thought I would take some pics and request that members on the forum provide me some advice in terms of what they think I should do to set a bevel and then to get it to shave ready. I would be able to document the process as it progresses.

Looking forward to assistance from members in the forum.
