So I bought a Dovo along with a few other items from Shavenation and although the razor came shave ready, it's not shave ready anymore. I tried stropping, but I'm guessing I messed up the edge because it couldn't cut my gfs hair even if I pulled it against the edge...

So I bought some norton 2 sided stones. 250/1k, 4k,8k. They came extremely rough, so I had to lap them. It took a seriously long time to lap them using 250 grit paper with a slab of granite.

I've watched whatever videos are available on youtube for honing a straight razor. Please watch what I'm doing and tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I should be doing instead. I really appreciate the help. Thanks.
