I know what your saying jfk742. I shaved with it again today. Was it keen, yes. No pulling or issues going thru the whiskers. The feel was less harsh than a 12k. Not that i find the 12k harsh but the Arkie edge felt like it was lacking just a little compared to a 12k or 20k. After a stroping i put it under the microscope and i see no flaws in my edge. Yes it cuts and feels more comfortable but just not as keen as im used too.

Outback has said in the past i like a keener edge than him and maybe this is what the issue is. The edge is mostlikely right, im just used to a sharper feel.
