Thread: Can't set bevel on dovo 5/8 best quality

Hi everyone,

I'm vey new to straight razors and honing but managed to set a bevel and put a great edge on an old razor I got.

This dovo on the other hand is killing me. I tried to do what Lynn does by starting with the 5k shapton but it wouldn't get an edge so I decided to go to the 1K and start from scratch.

Some areas have set but not all and I've tried 3 times now and still can't get the bevel.

I'm trying to do circles like Lynn does on his video and I'm very confident the razor is flat but still no luck.

I don't really know what to do now and I'm worried I've ruined the razor.

Any advise or help would be great. I'm in carlingford (Sydney), Australia as well.

Stuart
