I did 30 on the latigo, and shaved.
I must say the shave was way better than the previous 2 attempts. It is still not as good as I remember first getting it, but I it is better than before. My question is, should I continue on the regiment, or just do 10 laps on the UF until it is perfect? Or, is this where I'll need an even finer stone? I thought the UF was very fine already, around 14000 grit comparable...
Let me know what I should try next..
