I mean, if you're able to shave off of a 1k (all-be it not as comfortable as possible), it can't really be that dull :P

You are asking a ton of technical questions, but the simple answer is YES a 4k will dull the edge slightly from the slurry, then as you dilute it out the edge will get "Sharper" again.. A Norton 4k will auto slurry, so if you want the max edge out of it you have to use the spray bottle often or dip the razor...

You have to keep in mind that all of these "Dull" edges are capable of cutting hair, they are all in the sub 1/2 micron range, the difference is only partially in the "Sharpness" arena and more in the "Smoothness" factor...
