Well if you have a razor that is sharp to shave with with some regards, but you see that it leaves a few whiskers that can be cut by another razor, where down the line do you start on the re-hone to bring up the sharpness? A razor can cut a HHT but sometimes it is not up to par on sharpness of some other razors. I have a GOTTA that is a standard to judge all others. When I want to bring up an already sharp razor to a better sharpness level, do you start back at the 1000 grit level and go up from there, or start at the 4000 or even the 8000 level?

Another thing I have noticed, and this is on a new razor I have, is that one side has more width of bevel than the other side. It could be that the razor was not perfectly ground the same on both sides. A little more grind on one side and a higher spine contact would increase the degree that the edge would meet the hone. If the other side was less thick from spine contact to centerline of the blade, then the resulting honed bevel would be a wider bevel. All things that they are, they will eventually meet at one point. I think that for some really spectacular razors, that the grind is more perfect and the edges are nearly identical on both sides for width of bevel. It means that each side would have a bevel that was equal in width to the opposite side and the very edge would be a near split in the center mass of metal of the razor's thin body.
