Does any one no what the coarsness is of red dovo paste is comparable to say 1.0 diamond past or coarser.
Are you talking of the liquid or crayon type paste?

The Dovo paste breakdown that I found, God knows when was
Green = 5-8 microns
Red = 3-5 microns
Black = 1-3 microns
But keep in mind that these are a more gentle abrasive then Diamond paste, more like a Cr paste....
Just like a .50 Diamond will cut faster than a .50 Cr strop
So would you say red dovo is more gentle than .5 diamond and about the same as chr.5
Dovo Red is about equal to a 8K grit hone--fairly aggressive.
While we are on the Dovo paste subject....is the Dovo green paste Cro2?
as any one used the red after finishing hones ie yellow coti and had good results. I heard some one on here mention that some honed on yellow coticule with slurry and then stropped on red dovo paste and they get a very good shave ready razor?
I have just honed a razor with bbw slurry milky. stropped it up and it shave perfect did'nt need to go to yellow with water the only differance was the bevel was'nt realy shiny as it would of been if i'd finished on yellow any one out there just shave of belgium blue? I no it is said that the blue 4k to 6k yellow is 8k to maybe 12k . the only differance i find is blue is a little slower but very rewarding hone.
