Hello Everyone,
I've tried to read as many posts on the subject before bothering you all but I've recently tried to start honing after years of shaving with straights.
I used the circle method on the norton 4k and I can definitely get it to shave arm hair. The problem is when I go to the 8k for as little as 6 x strokes, it becomes dull and cannot shave. Any thoughts.

I haven't bothered going to my 12k.

It's a good new dovo that has been honed professionally in the past.

Rich
