Definitely a YMWV question.

I can take a razor, straight or smiling, from bevel setting to shave ready in about 30min if I focus on it (like not watching TV in between sets), but on the other hand, I have one razor I can spend hours on and I'm still not happy with it. (In fact, that razor's awaiting a shave test...probably on Monday)

Maybe more helpful is, I can generally get a razor through bevel setting with 40 strokes on a 1k Norton, sharpen in 40 on a 4k Norton, refine in 40-80 on an 8k, and because I don't have a higher stone yet, I strop and shave and usually am pretty happy.

FWIW

Peace,
Jim
