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

There was a similar thread on here some time ago but I wanted to revisit the subject in case anyone hasn't yet tried it.

I have a lovely rather lovely Dovo Black star but it dropped out of my rotation a few months ago after I got hold of a TI which practically hones itself. Yesterday, I thought "no more!" and decided to try giving it a micro-bevel which I'd seen suggested on here - where one would hone as normal then to finish, complete a small number of laps on a super fine stone with the spine taped.

Not owning a super fine stone, I just honed as normal on a norton 4/8k before taping the spine and completing 15 more laps on the 8k.

Now, I have to say, this razor went from shaving like a cheesegrater to feeling like i was rubbing a block of butter over my face. I see no reason why everyone shouldn't use this wonderful technique!
