Well my red imp just rained on my parade :( it wasn't a horror show, but she did feel more like she was scraping then the others and I had considerably more irritation then with the Stiz or my Biedermeier. Though, I have recently dabbled into the world of proraso in soap form and have considerably less experience with making lather with soaps then creams and I had a rather thin lather today. So tomorrow is my bevel's chance to redeem its self, though I think I may be back to the hones tomorrow with it :( at least I have two razors I honed myself that I am happy with!
Today I will be honing up my JA Henckels "cut well". I'm curious to see how this goes, because of all my razors this one is the most abused by far, but I got it for $5 bucks so I'm happy :p

Epd. I tried your 1k shave experiment and I have to say wow! I didn't really have much faith that I could do it, but I did! After setting a keen bevel on my Henckels, I stripped 100 laps on news paper then 100 on linen and 200 on leather. My face had nothing to shave at this time though, but I do have rather similar hair on my chest, and lots of it. So I lathered up a rather large piece of real estate on my right moob and did just one pass to near bbs.ill be going to my face today :)

im not sure manscaping will give you a real good sense of how an edge will preform, and try to limit your stropping to 50/50 to get a better sense of your honing skills
