Final Installment:

Shaved off of the 12k today and it was all I could have hoped for, smooth,comfortable and mainly BBS.

This was a great learning experience and I will go back to the 1k and start over and also do some comparisons off of the stone, then off the fabric and then off the leather.

Going to concentrate a bit on just going 1, 3, 5 and 8 and making extra sure that all the scratches from the previous stone are gone before I move on.

The practice razor turned out great but next time it will be even better.
