I'm thinking of going back to 1200 for twenty laps and then just 154k and 15 8k and then shave of the 8k and see if it has more grip in the edge.
interesting i've just done 30 light laps on the 1200 as usaul tnt realy drags tpt exallant.I though i'd do quik shave down one cheek not much stubble only 12 hours worth but razor actuly shaves and did'nt feel rough and seemed to grab even a tiny bit of stubble instead of gliding over it i will just hit 4k and 8k not to many strokes and see tomorrow i'm just wondering if some razors don't work well with certain hones maybe my belgiums smooth the edge out too much i don't no any one else have any ideas or came a cross this before.
