All I say is try it....... See if you like it. See if it adds comfort, durability, sharpness, enjoyment. If not.... Go back to the way you had it before.

I know in the area of blades in hand block planes, this is a hot discussion. Some like it, others think it doesn't work as well.

I do know this..... It does make a sharp edge faster and easier IME. Whether it holds up as well is for you to find out. Take a microscope and monitor along the way and see how it works for you.

I do know it has been done by many here and here .... >

Tim has been using microbevels for a while. This is how I honed my first razor and it worked well and lasted several months.
