Thread: At what grit can you no longer see scratches with the naked eye

I am just going to say this bluntly, so don't take it wrong, I just don't feel like trying to be PC about it on my first cup of coffee

If you begin honing to polish the the bevel to a "Mirror Finish" and not to achieve comfort on your face, you are going to be sorely disappointed in straight razor shaving

Many natural stones cannot ever attain a mirror finish, and when you start pushing edges too far with the high end synthetics to mirror the bevel you stand a very good chance of making the edge fragile and harsh...


Performance first, Looks second, just a thought


Plus as soon as you strop, that pretty bevel is scratched up anyway ..
