Quick Question:

I had a shave with a new dovo i got yesterday, it was definitely not sharp enough. it was sharp enough to cut my beard hairs off, and not blunt enough to cause cutting, but excessive pressure was required. I'm completely novice to honing, and was just wondering, would a polishing hone help, after I'd lapped the razor a bit on my natural stone (which is a slow around 6-8k) to remove the abrasive feel. if so, i'm massively on a tight budget, so what would you reccomend?

Thanks in advance
