    Default If the bevel is not set 100%, can it be fixed on the finisher?

    Hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm simply not able to get my razor as sharp as I feel it should be.
    I set the bevel with a lot of laps on a 3k stone (marker test and everything). At first the razor was as dull as a spoon, but after 20 minutes or so, it started to shave my arm hair and I moved on to my finisher (welsh slate, at first with milky slurry and then plain water).

    The thing is, the razor doesn't feel like it shaves very well. The pass wtg on the cheeks still leaves some stubble and the pass atg requires some force to cut. I believe that I should have spent some more time on the 3k stone to make sure the bevel is set properly, because when I moved on, it cut arm hair but just barely.

    Can this problem be fixed with a lot of laps (500 or so?) on the finisher with lots of slurry or is it hopeless and I have to move back to the 3k?

    Thanks.
