OK so I've gotten all my razors to *great* shave ready condition but I have one that I just can't seem to figure out. It's a Dovo Best stainless with iron wood scales - beautiful razor (my...

I'm loving the 30K - the trick is not to overuse it.

I do enough passes on the 16K until the blade feels sticky on the hone then move to the 30K and do 3 forward, 2 reverse and 3 forward - weight...

Finally nailed the edge on the Dovo Best Stainless using 4K, 8K, 16K and a 3-2-2 on the 30K.

I'm really looking to improve my cutting edges and will worry about smoothness later - I've wrecked too many great edges on CrO with even just a few strokes.

I don't have a balsa strop but may be...

Thanks for all the info - really looking for some things to try using my setup though... I'm intrigued by this 3-2-1 method - anyone use this to good effect?

Hi,

I have Shapton 1K, 4K, 8K, 16K and 30K and am getting good edges but want to get the best possible. I want to poll the users on how to go from a well set bevel to a perfect edge with my...
