That part I'm not really clear on what your strategy is, and what you are actually doing.
Ah, my idea was, as I dulled the blade quite a bit during experimentations with the coti, to set a new bevel. Which could be done with the 3K side, if I interpreted things correctly

Would that be correct?
Ah, that's not what I meant. On the wiki, the pyramid starts at 25/25, then 20/20 ... I, lazy as ever, meant that I started with 10/10 then 5/5 and so on...

There ya go . . . how'd I do?
Well, I started on the right cheek, where it started ok, but when I went for a little XTG on the same cheek immediately after going WTG, it started to fail to remove hair... Then WTG on the left cheek just gave me lather on my razor, with maybe 2 whiskers... Where there should have been a nice black lining...
After that, I felt it with my thumbpad, and noticed I would have to use it like a steak knive to be able to cut myself... (which, off course, I did not try ). After that, I didn't bother trying the other cheek again, I just put it aside, and went back to my Bartmann.

As to the unbalanced spine wear (side to side); should I mess up the best side to meet the other side as well?
Going to take a look at it under the microscope anyhow, but thanx for your time! You read & looked carefully, so you did well!
