Today I sharpened my new Dorko Gold. After some basic cleaning with paste, WD40 and glass fibres, I started right away with the basic bevel on my NSS 800. After that I went on with my Coticule, using the coticule method with slurry. I finished with the coticule and flowing water. Finally I stropped the blade 20 times on my clench and 60 times on leather. HHT was already possible after the stone on some parts of the cutting edge. After the stropping it was as good as it can be!
Every Dorko I own is very easy to sharpen, but this one all but honed itself Very impressive!
The shave was gentle and smooth. One of the fastest honings I ever did with one of the best results - in comparison to the basic setup.
