At 100x magnification anyone run into their PHIG polish looking similar to Norton 4k frost?
Man, it sounds like that razor took a lot of work..

and, yes, I found that my CNat seemed to regress somewhat, but the more polishing I gave the stone the better it got. Starting with slurry and working to clear water, then a lot of laps on just clear water seemed to produce a glazed edge.

I believe your assumption is correct, though I didn't have that high of mag to look at it with.

Whew, going from a BK to a finished shave, lots of work!!

Good job man!
