Irritation off of 8k Norton? Higher grit needed??
Hey all,
So I'm getting proficient at honing using my 4k/8k norton. I do have plans on getting more stone, as well as higher grit ones, but as of now the 8000 is the highest I have. I have gotten a couple of old rusty ebay razors polished up and honed, and have shaved with them too. But they're not the smoothest shaves. The cheeks are fine, but the neck gets a little irritated. I know I have stupidly sensitive skin, but I can't help but wonder how much different it would be if I got that bevel polished up on something finer than a 8000.....Any thoughts? Thank you!
Dave
p.s. When I say I plan on getting more stones, I'm talking about the Shapton GlassStones
