    Default Retouching the edge

    Hello Guys:

    I want to give a little retouch to my blade edge, so the question is can i use the pyramid method to do this? starting at what point?

    I only have the Norton 4/8 k and no finer grit.

    Thanks for your advice

    That depends upon what shape the edge is in. You can start just with the 8K, using X strokes and see what comes of it and do your diagnosing from there.

    I have had only two shaves with that razor and is ok just thinking in retouch because maybe the angle i used or the pass ATG made feel like if it wasnt too sharp, i know i have job to do with my angle and technique in general but i want to give a little retouch to the edge just to meke me fell more comfortable.

    XE3VW,

    I'd stick with the 8K. If that doesn't work, then you go to the 4k for a mild bevel re-set.

    I'm assuming he's basing his guess purely on the OP's name "Sergio Paredes", which would likely indicate a Latin decent, though obviously that is no guarantee of where he's currently living.
