Thread: Day One

I say "Go for it", pyramid away. Do you understand overhoning diagnosis and correction? See if you can get a sharper edge by having the razor complete a more confident HHT.

After you've done a few pyramids go back to some smoothing on 8K, you can even go back to pyramding. You now understand alot more about "finishing" the razor.

When you feel good about the razor, stop honing and focus on stropping. You need about 4 shaves and the resulting stropping before the edge smoothes out all the way.

Pyramding should take you to a confident HHT or running the razor over arm hair should cut ALL the arm hair.

I agree.
Try the following
3/5
3/5
1/5
1/5
1/5
then some laps just on the 8000, strop and shave test.
