We always hear about how great the shave is with a double bevel right off the hone, but how about weeks (or months for that matter) after the initial honing?

I can tell you from earlier work a couple of us found them going strong long after with 30k and also with diamond film. I personally think that any edge prepared that the beard offers little resistance will last longer because you are not forcing it, be it a micro or traditional. I am now trying the same idea with finishing on a super hard Asagi. It will be interesting to see if the natural edge is equally strong.
