I recently got a new Hart Steel razor which has been a joy to shave with. I have been recently smitten with the dreaded HAD, and am awaiting a new Jnat, so in anticipation of that use, I have been led to compare edges of the Hart vs. some of my other favorites. I used a 30x loupe this A.M. to look at the Hart and then a Maestro Livi that I love, but it is not quite as smooth as the Hart. Lo and behold, I find that the Livi, which I have been using in rotation for about a year, has a few very small chips in the bevel near the toe. These are not noticeable to the naked eye, but are at 30x.

The blade on the Livi is Bergamo damascus (in case that is an issue). Would I need to take the blade back to the 1000 grit stone to reset the bevel, or should I start at 4-5k? Thoughts?
