Time to lather up and shave.

For the 11/16 that was dull, on my step 3 I did the 30 and tested, after that I did 3 set of 10 laps with testing in between. For step 4 I did the 30 plus 10. All in all probably 20 mins to sharp.

My coticule (6 x 1 1/2) is one of the pinkish ones, it seems like a fast cutter.
