Thanked: 8New to honing, looking on advice on how to procede
I have a TI AOS razor, never honed, so I wanted to get it shave ready( I am comparing to a shave ready DOVO bought from thesuperiorshave).
Anyway, I've got a naniwa 3000/8000 and I followed this guide exactly:
Pyramid honing guide - Straight Razor Place Wiki
So I did 1 full pyramid then I tried HHT, didn't pass, so I repeated again, and still no luck. Overall I honed for about 1 hour, and I was getting nowhere, so I stopped.
Right now:
If I pass the razor over my nail TNT, i'll cut a little so it seems the bevel is set, but if I touch the blade TPT it feels like a sharp knife, very different from the DOVO.
Here are some pics the best I could

Can anyone give me some direction on what to do?
I can't seem to get the blade sharp enough. Please be detailed, like go to 3000 and do 20 circles then do TNT etc.
