Thread: Help sorting out issues.

A razor can be "sharp" along most of the edge but still have a lot of nicks that might make it uncomfortable.

Rather than us speculating here, you might as well work your way backwards. Hone it with the 12k and see if that improves it. If it does not, then drop down to the 8k and see if that improves it. Most likely it won't. If so, then drop down to whatever you have below 8k and at that point it probably will begin to improve.

You may ultimately work your way all the way back to a new bevel set, which you could jump to right off the bat if you don't feel like experimenting.
