You know it's funny, that's how I feel about my Shapton Kuromaku 12K. Lighter is better...

Almost can't feel it shaving arm hair, we'll see how it does in the shave tomorrow evening or the day after.
I'm operating on the assumption that paste would be cheating, otherwise I'd have done a few hundred on CrOx. Originally Posted by sharptonn

Did that challenge a while back when I started to learn to hone. Shaved at each step of my progression till I reached 1 12k finish. Learned a lot from each step.

I test my bevel on my cheeks only. It's really hard to reach back there though.

Now where in the world did you ever get that crazy idea?? Originally Posted by Razorfeld
