New guy with an iron face?
So I have been reading about the 4/8k stones and then going to the 16k. However my limited resources allow for me to use what I have on hand. That being said. I have a Dovo Classic, the really inexpensive blade, shaves great though. A Global 1000g and a Col. Conk Surgical Arkansas 3000g.
I started the edge on a diamond steel, the edge hopped back to life. I went the 1000g then to the 3000g and stropped about 20xs. The shave was smooth and wonderful.
Is this "wrong"? I keep hearing about stopping at 8k or 16k but never any mention of 3k. I plan to get some Crom OX for the linen side of my strop to polish the edge, but other than that do I really need to change my set up?
