That is why I though that since most of the work is done by factory I just need to touch it up and get it to be "shave ready' that is reason for going straight to 6000/10000. do you still think I should go down to 1000 grit stone even on brand new razor? once again I am from Seattle area I would love to meet someone locally to help me with this issue. I can always send it to be pro honed but I am really really into this "straight shaving" thing now and I really want to learn how to get it honed properly. I know it may cost me a razor or two but I dont really care Please help. Thank you for all your replies and advices
