Thanked: 3795I thought I would push the limits a little more…
I spent 3 minutes on a gold dollar fresh off the grinder and honed it all the way up to a 600 grit edge. The spine was taped first with green tape and "finished" with black tape. Then I stropped it on newspaper for 10 strokes to clear off residual grit. This was followed by 50 strokes on linen and 100 on leather.
I lathered up some Tabac and did a two pass shave. I got a good enough shave with only a bit of irritation on a tiny patch near my adam's apple.
Have fun!
