    Default determining Grit

    I have two hones of, i believe, differing grits but after lapping them flat i am unsure which is more fine (finer?). They're fine enough to where i can't feel a difference. How can i determine which is which?


    p.s. I'm not looking to determine the grit, just which is finer.

    Do a bit of honing on a razor and look at the scratch pattern under magnification before and after would be one way .
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Which one gives the smoother shave?

    The smoother edge should come off the higher grit.
