Thread: Questions with 12k

Recently acquired a Naniwa Gouken 12k. i have been shaving off my SS 8k since i started honing and have been getting good results with that. Have been trying out the 12k on some of my razors (20 laps followed with some light ones) or whenever the visual cues i have been using for honing tell me it's done.

The thing i've noticed is the first shave after honing is noticeably better but the next shaves are not as good but about where they were with my 8k shaves. (which stayed that way with subsequent shaves) Am i doing something wrong?
