So today I kept at it on the 4k until I thought it was as good as it was going to get there and then put a single piece of tape on the spine. From there, about 50 4k laps, 25 8k, 25 12k and this baby seems sharp! I have yet to shave test it, but the way it was mowing arm hair like never before I think it worked. The new bevel is about the size of what you would see on a new Dovo, and maybe a bit wider. So it is pretty narrow considering the first bevel. Looks good though. I'll probably shave with it tonight (whatever stubble I have left from testing other razors).
