Thread: dovo red paste

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?

Mark

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

NO !!!!! not even close way more coarse, but more gentle than the same micron Diamond paste....

Dovo Red is about equal to a 8K grit hone--fairly aggressive.

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.
