I received a Dovo 5/8 "inox" 1/2 hollow straight razor for the holidays and would like to put a shave ready edge on it. I have the following equipment: a norton 4k/8k, a dmt-d8c (to flatten the norton) a 4 sided paddle strop, a well used hand-me-down leather strop, and diamond pastes in 3, 1, .5, and .25 microns respectively. I would like some suggestions from those of you with far more experience than me with this steel. About how many strokes you would start with on the 4k to establish the initial bevel? Moving on to the 8k? And finally the pasted strop. I have watched the videos done by heavydutysg135, but have yet to actually touch my razor to the hone. Thanks for any advice. Best, -Bob
