Sorry Neil, I didn't bring that out earlier but after the 6k king I have a 12k naniwa to go and then a 1um diamond, 0.25um diamond and 0.5crox to finish things off. Then its off to the linen and leather strop.

I got an ok shave from the dovo today but not really comfortable. Cut ok during the WTG, but ATG and XTG second pass was a bit pushing it. Little tugging and pulling going on. Despite that, I must say that it was one of my better shaves yet, but my shaving technique is improving all the time as well so it is hard to say which is the main cause. After the shave no real irritation but not BBS and one rather bad cut due to my fault.

But anyways, I am making progress. Just, I dont feel that I have made that good bevel set yet. Just something in that direction that I have then tried to hone to a shavable end result.
