This really dramatized to me what you guys always say--the main work is on the 1K and 3/4/5K stones. So I decided I wouldn't leave the 1K (actually a DMT 1200) until I liked how the razor shaved leg hair...now my legs do look kinda funny…

It just shows that by the time your razor comes off the 3k its basically as sharp as its going to get. All the higher grits are just further refining that edge.

Thanks for sharing!
