Thread: EF DMT for Bevel Set?

It isn't about thinking it is about feeling and edge smoothness

Many people ask about why the Chosera 10k isn't a great finisher, the grit is higher then a Norton 8k after all, again about feeling...

The DMT's can cut steel, there is no doubt about it, but over the long term average they tend toward creating harsh fragile edges, not all razors, but a tendency..

This is exactly where we get the term YMMV,, the next razor you set the bevel with on the DMT 1200 might have a different contour on the bevel and the experience will be very different, only time and razors will tell...

What time and razors has taught me is that "Sneaking" up on the edge has the greatest tendency to creating smooth shaves YMMV
