If the razor is a customer's and I set the bevel myself I look closely before re-setting the bevel :)
I remember thinking this was a bit immodest, and now, I'm thinking the gunner is on to something. 'First reaction - does he think he's the only guy that knows how to set a bevel?!.
I got 3 wacker blades from John, 2 of which came with edges that were wonderful. I got to learn that the harder blades take more work. What surprised me & made me remember Glen's post here - is that I've not been able to touch up the original bevel. The high quality edge & shaves demonstrate it was certainly done well, but I couldn't just take a few strokes on the 12k and be back in business. I tried. I had to go back to the bevel and from there, could build an acceptable edge.
So that made me think this may be part of what makes Glen insist on a new bevel - it will be one he knows he can develop to a fine edge.
