Thread: Norton 4k after Chosera 1K ?

Way too many finishers, limit the variables. You are making the process way too complicated by adding more stones to the mix. First learn to hone on your synthetic progression, and get a repeatable, shaveable edge. A 1,4,8k synthetic progression is all you need.

Probably none of your naturals are over 8K and each will have to be learned, to squeeze the maximum performance from, you may be going backwards and certainly confusing the results.

Go back to the 8k and put an even edge back on the razor, removing all the other stria, strop and shave. You have flat bevels and should be able to remove all other stria in 20-40 laps.

Photos are blurry, but show deep random stria, from the stones or technique. The bevel photos do not say anything about the edge, except that it is chippy. If you do want to compare bevel photos, mark a spot on the razor and photograph the same spot each time, so now you have something to compare to.

If you are using a USB scope use the software, not the button on the camera to capture the photo.

Forget about hair test, the goal is to produce a repeatable, shave ready edge, not cut another’s hair or even your arm hair. This test is confusing you further, it may be the hair you are using will not be cut by a shavable edge.

Simplify… As said, you are probably very close.
