    Question. After 'touchdown', as going from 3 layers to one and beginning again, how do you judge the improvement?
    If you are popping hairs and pocketknife-sharp at 3 layers and go to one, how do you judge the improvement while progressing?
    After many multi-layer fiascos, I have taken to dulling it one stroke on a glass bottle and then bringing them back with one layer. Seems to mean I am hitting the edge again, positive along all the edge. I hate going back to the hones. I truly try to teach myself every time I have problems and remember the lessons learned. I have given up on shaving with any more than 2 layers. Mostly!

    There is the examination with a loupe to see the shoulder come down to the edge but both work.

    I dunno. I think I am done as I shave with it. My loupe judgement is notsogood.
