    interesting that you can't notice improved sharpness on razors during shaving at these levels, it shows up on knives when push cutting newsprint.

    Why is 4K not a stopping place for honing?
    Shave off the 4K and you will have your answer.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
