I just finished touching up a Dovo SS razor. It's now very sharp and gave me
an extremely close shave. However, it was not particularly smooth: no pulling or
dragging, but just kinda rough feeling.

So, I stropped the heck out of it, on linen and latigo, which resulted in improvement.
Then I stropped some more, but it seems to have hit a wall.

I was contemplating using a CeOx pasted strop next, but I seem to recall reading
somewhere that stainless steel does not respond too well to pastes.

Is that correct? Any suggestions?

My highest grit stone is a Naniwa 12K. I also have a 3-line Swaty and a
translucent arkansas stone. Plus the CeOx pasted strop. Those are the
limits of my toolkit.

Thanks in advance for any help.
