Thread: How sharp is sharp?

I have found some razors to take an edge that clears my face better than the average Injector, DE, or SE. Can I get that edge every time?...I am getting better at it!

One of the mentors did a "get it sharper" over a month or so of a few more laps every day on a fine stone. He started taking the tops off the cells in his skin. Yes, there is a point that is too sharp for anything but laboratory use as microtomes.

Sharp is formed at the lower grit stones, all later stones do is polish the bevel of that sharpness and make a smoother edge.
YMMV
