Greetings,

a Friend of mine was given a Diane D73 7/8 for Chrstmas. Knowing I use straight razors myself be brough it past today to have a look since he couldn't get it to shave at all and it is definitly NOT shave ready in the least. Simply glides over anything face or arm.
I've done the below progression on it twice including stropping and testing in between but can't get an egde to it.

Stroke - grit
15 - 4000
15 - 8000
10 - 4000
10 - 8000
5 - 4000
5 - 8000
3 - 4000
3 - 8000
1 - 4000
3 - 8000
1 - 4000
5 - 8000

I don't have any other stones avalible at this time. Can anyone offer some advise on how to hone this razor?
