Norton 4k/8k... then what?
Howdy all--
When I first got my straight, a DOVO, off of SRP it came with a strop and a Norton 4k/8k. It was shave ready it shaved like a dream. Several weeks later, though, I discovered that it had somehow gotten a slight bend in the edge, which I posted about here.
I honed it on the 4k/8k, but for obvious reasons, it has never returned to the "shave ready" level. I can certainly shave with it, and have been doing so for several months, but it pulls a bit and I'm having some trouble with getting a totally clean shave.
Should I be looking into buying pastes on a paddle strop? What's the most economical next move for me to get closer to that wonderful edge I had at first?
Thanks a bunch!
