Thread: pearlex dovo 5/8 arrived!! first razor!

They are slower cutters so they will take more time. You need to read up on all the coticule-related threads in the hones forum.

danzyc, first you try to shave with the razor. It is quite possible that it is sharp out of the box. Maybe the company you bought it from has sharpened before sale. If it won't shave, try 15-30 on the Belgian stone, and repeat if necessary.

g luck,

after the belgian hone...how i can check if it is sharp enough??

For starters read the help files and check out the honing forum as I already suggested. That's where the answers to all of your questions lie including working with coticules and sharpness tests. Alex may also be willing to coach you as he's been doing a lot of honing with the coticule and nothing else.

Try shaving with it. It's a slow process, hone and shave, but it's accurate...
