Thread: Ding near toe... go right to the 1K?

Hi, my Boker (one of 6 razors that I cycle through for shaving) was getting irritating and was near the end of its rotation (it's not one of my favorites of the bunch), about 40 shaves with it. I took a look at the edge and it seemed OK (high magnification, so it's sometimes hare to tell if just debris or not), except at the toe, where I see a 1mm wide ding:



I've got Norton 1K, 4K, 8K, SS 12K. Think I should go right to the 1K with circles to get out the ding and then reset the bevel? I was thinking I may spend a long time with higher grits and end up at 1K anyway?

The edge on this is close to 1mm wide at the end, but only a 1/2mm in the middle. It was a new razor, pro-honed once, and (I think) I may have touched it up once as well.

It's been awhile since I had to deal with dings (not sure how I got this one). Last honing was just a bit on 4K, 8K, and 12K to sharpen up the edge on a Spike (one of my favs).

Thoughts?
