I did a 15:1 ratio of the non stamped side vs the stamped. and on the non stamped I did edge leading strokes only and on the "1" side I did a single spine leading stroke every 15 to get rid of the wire edge. I'm not quite sure I formed any though. Also i put my fingers right up to the edge while doing both sides trying to spare the spine. This was on my 130mm coticule. I aslo drew with a marker on the edge and spine to se what was happening.

Seems to have worked. The razor is not super sharp, but sharp enough to get a comfortable shave. I also have a spyderco UF that I'm planning to test. But I will test that first with my dovo. since it much less expensive.
