Thread: Microbevels with the Shapton 30000

Mike

I have gotten my best shaves to date off the 30K - no strop. I didn't try the micro bevel off the 30k, but I recently sharpened one of my reed knives up as a razor (for an experiment with another member, but that's another thread...), and went to 16K, then put a micro bevel @16K I did strop, though. It was an acceptable shave, but admittedly, I was more concerned with not killing myself, as the blade had a handle like a Japanese razor, but a 3 inch blade!

I just did my bismark on the Naniwas and after the 8K I put a piece of tape and did 15 laps with the 12K. Again, I did strop and will shave in just a little bit. After that, I'll redo the bismark up to the 30K like you did - no stropping. (my poor bismark - every week something new...)
