Like I said I was going to do, I killed the edge on this razor, went back to the 2k thru 12k making sure every step along the way was as perfect as possible. Then went to the Trans Ark with some WD-40. After a while (didn't count laps) 100 or so laps maybe, I started adding Ballisol oil to the stone. I might have done another 150 laps adding a bit of Ballistol along the way. Stroped and now its ready for the test shave in the morning. It passes the TPT but when testing by the Arm Hair it isn't grabbing the hairs as my final edges normally do. Hoping this is just part of the Arkie way.
So here is a pic of the edge at this time. USB Microscope and keep in mind that the blotchy black marks above the edge are about 1mm apart, so your not seeing much of the edge.
