    jerry, when you finally get that aha moment where you finally get that 1k shaving, you will find that your finished edge will be much better. I really couldn't hone well till I did this test when Glen suggested it to me. many failures, even though I had some good shaves by the time I got to the finisher but not consistent. once I learned that the 1k needs just as light a touch on the finishing strokes and then I started using that 1k edge before going up the scale. it really did teach me its all about the bevel set. but after their set I don't get much practice, maybe 1razor a year will go all the way back.

    stick with it and you will be more consistent, with smoother edges Tc
