Thread: Is This Excessive?

I ran across this. Notice the description going all the way up to 100k. Seems like more than you usually hear about for finishing a razor. What am I missing?

Most likely they are talking about Paste / Diamond / CBN after the hones

Or they are just lost in their own little reality


Edit:

There was some idiot for awhile on Amazon/Ebay making BS claims about his 50K J-Nats and SRs but I think he went away or enough people called him on it and he changed it

I've seen it before. There make past for strops. Last I herd from them the guy had a thing for kangaroo leather and was working on a 200k finish.

It is called promotion and marketing. Make something sound out of reach and semi mystical and a bunch of unsuspecting newbies will bite and send you their money. Milk the situation till you can and the go work on the next con. Rinse and repeat.

You would not even want to go that far if you could. You need to stop at a point where an edge can support itself.

Boy, those ebay scamster's are something to behold, greedy little........

Thank god you came to the right place, here we do not deal in excess. No, no excess here…

Yea, probably paste, some are higher than 100K, though don’t know if you would call it a 100k edge.

He probably read about it here first…

Have heard some sellers say their leather strop is equal to 100k

I know that CBN abrasive spray is available all the way down to .10 micron, which should be well over 100k grit. As mentioned above, I am sure they are talking about treated stropping instead of hones.
