Smoother Shave with Lower Grit?
Today I experienced something kinda weird in my opinion. Lately my Dovo 5/8 hollow has been feeling less comfortable than is acceptable by my standards. I couldn't figure out why, as I hone it the same way as the rest of my razors and at the same time. I thought back to when it started feeling this way, and all I could come up with is when I switched hones. ABout a two months ago I purchased a Shapton 16000 stone to compiment my Norton 4k/8k. I have a few wedges and a couple of other hollows, and I honed them all on the Norton and the Shapton. I found a noticible improvement on all my razors except my Dovo.
As such I tried a little experiment today, and took my Dovo back to the 8k. Didn't go to the Shapton, just stropped and shaved. To my suprise it felt smoother than when I was shaving of the 16k.
Has anyone else had a razor that seems to shave smoother off a lower grit, or does my Dovo just prefer a different kind of hone than a glass one?
