Thread: Shapton 30k Usage

I used this hone for the first time tonight on a
brand new, beautiful TI "Le Canadien". Unlike
most of the razors from Dovo and TI that I've
honed from the factory, this blade was sharp
-- likely shave-ready sharp. I say likely because
I could feel a bit more pull when it was popping
arm hairs than I'd usually like, and I hadn't
shaved for a few days and was really looking
forward to a great one.

I did 10 easy strokes on the Shapton 16k, and
followed up with 5 strokes on the Shapton 30k.
I lapped both stones with the DGLP immediately
prior to use.

The blade had a nice smile, but the bevel was
extremely even and it felt great on the hone
with a slight rolling stroke.

The test shave was amazing, probably the best
edge I've shaved with. A+++ Will Hone Again,
in eBay parlance. I'll keep the feedback coming
once I spend more time using this hone.
