Thread: A second bevel added late.

This is what I usually do for my razors, although sometimes I DO use the unicot method Bart has on his website:

DMT-e for bevel setting
norton 4k/8k pyramids until I can shave off the 8k. Sometimes I go back to the 8K a few times to get the shave better, I then stop.
Naniwa 12K
Coticule with water for polishing.

Could I use the tape and add a small "microbevel" on the razor during the last coticule stage or the 12K stage and add a performance to my razor that is not already there? The temptation to add extra "umph!" to the razor is getting to me, and I want to try this without damaging the edge ERN Ator.

Actually, I think that is what Bart does at the end.
