Thread: 4K enough for a good shave?

As some have stated it can be shaved with (you could try with 1k or less too)
But for a reasonable chanse for comfort 8k is probably a minimum with syntetics

If you dedicated your life to it, you would probably find a way to make it work and work well. If nothing else you could follow the 4K hone with a pasted strop.

Anyway, the conventional wisdom on the forums is to go to at least 8K.
