Another "ugh" from a new "honer". I got a couple of new Dovo Inox razors, and the razor`s did not feel sharp enough when I started using them.
I read and watched a lot of honing tips and videos, and bought a Norton 4000/8000. Well, this is more difficult that I thought. I use no pressure, tried pyramids and all I can think of. The razor get sharp, but not sharp enouht. It cuts hairs on my arm without problem, but I just can`t get it to do the "hair" test. I have flattened the Norton as well. (I have a Dovo Strop also, but still not able to get it "that" sharp)
I will not give up, I have two similar Dovo Inox, and will pay the price for a pro honing on one of them just to see how sharp a straight razor shall be.
I really like shaving with a straight, but I think it can get much better with a really sharp razor. That was my rant:(
