Hone review

started with the black russian ( second one honed yesterday) and it was ok but just not sharp enough for me. I t did the sideburns ok,no pulling or tugging and even got  the side of the chin but started leaving hair on the front part of the chin.

put it down and finished with the dovo forestal which was sharp and mellow but not perfect either. Going to dull the russian and do it over with the muticot approach starting with BBW til it shaves arm hair, then la dressante for dilution and finishing on les lat and see how sharp it gets.

I guess mixing japanese and european stones doesn't work that well. at least not yet :)0

The Forestal just needs some laps on the les lat or la vert on water. Should be getting my Nakayama Honayama today can't wait!
