If that were me doing the test I would assume I had a toothy edge, that may or may not be true for you, check with your loupe and see if that is what you find..

You have to Test Check and Verify your way to being able to assess the edge, it takes practice and time and more practice and more time...

We can only give you the info as it works for us and hopefully parts of it will work for you,,, So many people mockingly say "It is just honing it ain't rocket science" they don't realize how true that actually is If it were rocket science we could give an exact formula that would work every time, for everyone, on every razor


Hone On !!!!


Ps: Now that the TNT feels good to you try the AHT and see what happens does it cut hair along the whole edge, does the TPT feel good along the whole edge, how does it look under the loupe ...

Test, Check, Verify

Awesome thank you, I have been learning a great deal here. Were you referring to the toothy edge when I asked about the blade grabbing my nail heel to toe? On the 1k I tried seeing the bevel and it passed all the test but when I shined the bright light down in the edge I could still see a faint white line, then I did a few spine leading strokes and the edge was invisible, what would that info mean to you? Just trying to pick your brain

Side note: I continued with that bevel through the progression to finish and a great shave with zero sting from the aftershave...
