Unfortunately Gary's schedule and mine haven't quite added up to a free day at the same time so far. However, I have had fun tinkering around and getting somewhere (I hope).

I shaved off 3K and 5K. The edge was comfortable and shaved as well as any other edge. I did WTG passes on my cheeks only - not brave enough for the neck.

I took it to 8K, and it it is treetopping hairs nicely. I took it to a JNAT slurry, clear water and then a few passes on lather. Stropped on linen and the photo below is the result. I would appreciate you telling me what you think! To my eyes, maybe there are a few too many residual scratches from lower grits? It looks more uniform however, and looks like I am now honing to the edge?

It really is popping hairs on the arm like no man's business. I think I will shave test this on monday and hope it is smooth!
