IMO, the 4K side seems to be best suited for restoring an e-bay special and never used for touching up a current shaver. Once you start down that path its a long way back.

Just my $.02

I usually try 'least damage first' methods. Even if I work on a dull razors with oxidized bevels, I start on the 4K and only go to 1K if I see that there is not enough progress.

For just touching up I use the yellow coticule because it doesn't do any damage.

But the 8K that I had problems with earlier is now coming around nicely.
I have lapped it on my 1K norton several times, and it is now very smooth. Only occasinally I feel the slightest tug.
This is totally unfounded, but I suspect that the mould was a bit dusty when they poured it, or something like that.
