No they didn't. Their bevels are less than "perfect" when they leave for the buyers. That's no big deal, and they are not the only ones; on the contrary, a lot of razors from most big factories do...

Yes, I haven't mentioned the rest of the process which I find less than orthodox to say the least. That's why a lot of companies that buy Dovo razors from factory, have someone hone them before...

The purpose of the coarse wheel is hollowing the sides of the razor. On the second process it polishes it, and is also water cooled.
The bevel was not their primary concern but how hollow are the...

A bit off topic, but I am using a well worn out atoma 400 for edge restoration. I tried it, and although most people say "it leaves a far too harsh edge" the metal removed was pretty much the same...

That happens only if you mess up with the incantation.

With a bevel set, I think it takes me less than 10' for me to finish a razor. Less than 5' maybe. I'm using a Sigma 6k pink with white dots (the poisonous kind:p) with a little slurry about 80x, wash...

One stone honing? It takes a bit of time assuming the finisher is not a man made stone, but you enjoy honing to the fullest; no hurry, you are taking your time and hone until it's shave ready. I...

When the thread started, I thought that only natural stone progression advice was asked. And that there were actually 1000 functional razors. Since neither of these apply, get something coarser than...

Nice progression. As for the Yaginoshima stones, I think they are underrated, let alone unknown by the majority. They are not fine, but they can be really really fast.

Bevel setting is the most tricky part. For the rest, get a BBW/coticule-Jnat&nagura stones, or just go for one stone honing; with a good bevel, a diamond plate and a stone with decent cutting speed,...
