I imagine that if the steel is in good condition you should be able to get it as sharp as any other razor. It might feel different when you shave, but that's from the grind and not about sharpness. If it's not shaving, then it IS about sharpness.

If I was in your spot I'd go back to the 1K and get that bevel up to the best it can be. Getting the bevel to be as sharp as possible makes the finished edge that much better. (By the by, that's something I need improvement on as well, maximizing the edge at each level.)

Great looking razor. I like the fact that you left it and just honed her up. That'll be a fun one in the rotation I'm sure.
I get that, I don't think I've ever even held a "true" wedge, much less tried to shave with one. The feel is way different on my face though, and there is no feedback at all through my hands. Not bad, just different.
