Thanks for posting this. It doesn't seem a dumb question to me. Sometimes I polish metal and after using one grit wouldn't drop down to a coarser grit at all.

I also clean the surface completely when moving from a coarser grit to a finer grit. I noticed that Lynn (in his DVD) doesn't rinse off the 4000 grit before going to the 8000 grit. Wouldn't it be better to rinse the razor so as to not contaminate the 8000 side with 4000 grit material?

Thanks,

Matt
