Horrible Honing!!! AAAAAHHHH!
Tried my Dovo Astrale after my hone and strop. Shaved terrible! So, I finished up with the DE (double edge).
Today got out the microscope, 40x I think, and checked out the edge. OMG! it looked like it had teeth! No wonder it shaved crappy!. I have never honed my Dovo "Best Quality", and it looked very straight in comparison.
I really need help with my honing! It looks like I honed it on the sidewalk!
Norton 4k/8k.
I have watched the videos, did the pyramid.
One think I did notice that it feels smooth on the hone on one side, but feels like it is scratching on the other. Also sometimes it feels like I'm passing over a grain? Have I not broken in my hone properly? Too heavy handed?
I will learn this!!!
