    Shave update........
    Good news and bad news. She shaves but shes a bit rough, had to finish with the Dovo. Will have to bit of work to get the edge where it needs to be but I am confident that it will get there in the end.

    Thanks again all.

    Good on ya Stu! Sounds like you're close. I always find a loupe or microscope helps me see what's going on at the edge.
    Sometimes a few light strokes on a CrO pasted paddle helps with those critters but hang in there.
    If you use the synthetic Nagura on the Chinese stone be ultra light when rubbing, you don't want large chunks breaking off & scratching things up in the end game.
