I’ve always questioned the norm, part of my education I suppose. But why is a normally accepted bevel setter defined as 1k? I’ve set bevels on full hollows with a Shapton Glass HR 4k. I’ve also set bevels on razors from EU with ‘U’ shaped bevels with a 325 diamond plate - with a loupe. I’ve set bevels on diamond plate slurry on a fast jnat.
You have to use whatever it takes to make the bevels meet in a line within a reasonable amount of time. There’s no magic in spending hours to set a bevel. Finishing, well maybe.
Fast stones are better, and I suspect Glen has every Shapton HR Glass in his closet, lol. If a fast stone progression saves just 5 minutes per razor, that time adds up if you have a dozen on the bench, that’s an hour saved.
