    Hey guys, thanks for all the replies!

    A couple of days ago, I accidentally battered my Dovo into the tap, which caused a fair bit of blunting. Nothing too serious, but it was a good excuse to finally unbox my brand new DiaSharp set ^^. After breaking in the hones with a dozen of kitchen-knifes, I decided that the time had come to fix the edge of my Dovo with the 8K. My honing job was kinda poor, but the pasted strops made up for the lack of skill and coticule, so I got a decent shave. Not great, but not bad either =D

    @jojingo: if you know an address where I could get a Naniwa 12K for a relatively cheap price, I'm certainly interested!

    In the meanwhile, I purchased a vintage Wostenholm Fat Blade Razor (6/8"). It's in a pretty poor overall condition, but it was cheap, so I can finally get some honing skills without the risk of ruining my everyday Dovo.

    If, and this is a large IF, the Wostenholm somehow survives my honing en polishing practice sessions, I will need to re-pin the darn thing. I absolutely adore the torx and hexagon nuts 'n bolts, but can't find a local store that sells any fasteners that small. In fact, I can't even find washers that small.

    Surely, I could order some at Microfasteners.com, but I'd prefer to buy 'em in Holland (or Western Europe for that matter) because of the shipping costs.
    Any tips on good razor-supply-stores?

    Welcome to SRP. That was a great turning point when you decided to leave the cartridge in favor of simple str8s.

    Enjoy your shaves

    Pins are sold by DOVO and Thiers Issard. Try Koordenwinkel in Antwerp or Rasurpur.
