Thread: Micro Bevels or "How to get your edge bloody sharp off an 8k"

In my view using additional tape to create microbevel is one way to compensate for a subpar honing technique. Using progressively finer hones should create uniform and polished bevel, but if one cannot maintain good strokes or doesn't complete the work on a coarser hone before switching, the very edge will have various defects and will not shave well.
Using a few strokes on a fine grit hone at a slightly increased angle can remove these defects, but the razor can be exactly as good with simple straightforward honing too.

I can probably find a couple of photographs to illustrate this.
