Go straight from 8k translucent arkansas to crox paddle?
Well after quite a while using my DE razors, I have finally returned to my dovo out of sheer curiosity. I bought it new and used it a few times and found the shave to be fairly rough so I placed in a drawer to sit for the past year. After tooling through this awesome forum, I finally want to hone her up and get her shaving smooth!
My equipment: lapped translucent Arkansas stone and a handing strop. Just recently ordered a 2-sided bench strop with .5 micron crox but have not received them yet.
Now, I have heard that the translucent Arkansas stones are in the 8-10k range. And the the crox is about 30k. My question is, is it alright to go from the translucent Arkansas directly to the crox and get a decent shave or do I need an intermediate grit to fully appreciate the fine grit of the crox?
Thanks for the help, hope Im not noobing up the forum to much:rofl2:
