Pulled a little, so kept on going only with the 8k. Started feeling good on the HHT, but then added lather to the stone and went even better. Stropped about 20X and then shaved.
Shave went ok, but not quite sharp enough. So went back to the stone, for a few very light runs on the 3k, then the rest on 8k. Feels even better now!
All I can say is keep the pressure light! It makes a huge difference!
That's exatly right. You almost have to conjure that edge into existence.Quote:
