My question is how much sharper can a razor get? I've been thinking about getting a 12k but how much better will the edge be? How much better will the shave be?

I've used a Naniwa 12K for several years and have been using a Zulu Grey for about a year and a half and feel that I know them pretty well. However tonight I honed up a razor and finished on the Zulu and got a decent shave off of it but I'm going back and see if I can get a better shave off of the Nani 12. However I may just drop back to the tried and true Norton 8K before I do.

I truly believe that you never stop learning when honing, stropping etc this age old art is a wonderful teacher all in itself.
