"Whatever Works for you"
Please do not think I am advocating the microbevel or anything that I am doing. For some work, the flater the bevel the better, but not for straight shaving. All I am thinking is that our smoothest shaves may not be just an edge thing, but just as important working together is the bevel shape. The convex bevels are achieved by stropping, pastes, softer stones(maybe Naniwa in this, I don't have one) slurries with naturals. What I did in my experiment was to remove the metal behind the micro making it flat. The edge was in all honesty no sharper that many do here on a daily practice with their eyes closed. Many of you are way more practiced an accomplished than me.
Many of us who sharpen in other worlds look to slice of material microns thin and leave a shiny surface. Flat bevels are better for this. We want our razors to magically slice of hair and leave our faces in perfect shape at the same time.....convex shape + good edge= smooth. I don't know, just trying to make sense from so much info and practices shared here at SRP.
