I honed the razor Chosera 600 (for a blank slate), Chosera 1K (bevel set with 2 pieces of tape throughout), 3K, flipped 5K, and waited for the Naniwa 8K to arrive. Then on to the 8K and the 12K Naniwa. Here my ADD kicked in and I simply carried on to the SG 20K. I forgot it was suggested I stop at 12K. This morning the first shave, a 2 pass modified. My reward, a sweet looking bevel and honestly, the first time I had zero burn from the Alum, in short, a super comfortable shave with my favorite razor. Really this thread has been fun and part of the reason I keep coming back to SRP, the combination of deep knowledge, great photography, and goofy fun.
Mo rocks ,mo fun.
I did a wedge with the 20k the other day & it liked it better than the naturals I usually use. Go figure .
