I tried this Q on the main forum but apparently hi-jacked anothers. So For example, I just bought New Dovo Bismarck, reasonably sharp, but not quite there. Q.1 Do I simply try it on an 8K for several strokes? Q.2 Do I go right back to the 1K and re-set the bevel, go through the progression 1k,4k,6k,8k, 10k. (Naniwa SS).

Answer 1. I blunted it worse on the 8k, probably due to excessive pressure. I keep getting in strife when I go from a set hair chopping 6k, to a dull 8K, pointless 10K.
Answer 2, I'm going from a set bevel TPT lovely, then my enemy the 8K, no matter how light I go, and I really go light, it bloody dulls it.

I'm really open to suggestion....Slurry, pressure, I'm frustrtated, I've watched every video ever made and still I manage to root things up. So my Q is Bevel set hair chopping 6k to the 8 light strokes on the 8k and I'm headed back to the 6k. Why?
