Thread: Microbevels with the Shapton 30000

OK,

So I tried something new on a Wade and Butcher.

Instead of 10-15 strokes at the 30k with tape, I went and did about 200 - really establishing a 30K secondary/ micro bevel. This time I also looked under the scope to see if a bevel was actually forming. even @ 200+ strokes, there was still room for the 30K to work, but I figured this was enough for now.

IMO, You know when a razor is good to go when you can shave dry (I just did about an inch off my sideburns). My shave will have to wait until morning, though.

Tom,
I share and appreciate your passion for the 30k and thank you for inviting and providing the means for others interested to participate.
In this new experiment you are trying, it makes me think you could have stumbled on either of the following:
1. maybe a super stone pyramid micro between the 16k or similar will make save you from carpel tunnel syndrome
2. maybe your primary bevel could have been refined better as the 30k is really just finishing like a pasted strop and it sounds like way too much work

In any event, we still need to keep it as simple as possible and later figure out what happened. In other words "more is less" is what we are studying in this one and stay focused.(even though I really love your passion) If other participants, that are reporting daily or intermittantly disaggree I will stand aside for them and they can comment if needed.
Mike
