Thanked: 1936"Believers & doubters of films". No sir, experience talking. What we are talking about is on the microscopic level which requires magnification beyond what I have. A razor for the face is a tool, but a tool that is used on soft tissue. We have to keep this in mind as we want the blade to glide over the skin and mow down the whiskers that are poking out. Many razors (90-95%) cannot handle much over 1 micron when it comes to the edge as it becomes too fragile. Some pastes & sprays will break down as you use them, but the diamonds are some tough boogers. Diamonds will make a razor's edge feel rather "crisp" on the face.
I revert back to my same statement when it comes to films: How many veteran honers do you see using films for honing? I actually don't know of any. Go ahead and experiment, that's how you gain experience. Once you gain experience...you will end up with stones and echo the sentiments.Southeastern Oklahoma/Northeastern Texas helper.

Thank you and God Bless, Scott
