There is a tendency still to call everything a "Bevel Set" when these three conditions are rather different
Chips, Dings, Re contouring, Fixing Geometry = "Edge Restore" and is done at lower grits then 1k
A bevel where the edges do not meet, and the edge was not shaving nor is close to shaving sharp, and tiny chips = "Bevel set" that is done at around 1k
Straightening out the bevels on a razor that was shaving, and just needs to be brought back to even = "Bevel Refresh" is usually done between 2k and 5k
These are the terms I use personally to try and not confuse people when I am teaching them to hone :) I hope it helps
(Please understand that using slurry also falls under the same descriptors it just doesn't use the Grit ranges)
ps:
This means diddly "in order to achieve that HHT4"
This means even thing "in order to achieve that CCS" (Close Comfortable Shave)
