Thanks! It was really cool looking through the microscope at the blade after each grit. I remember seeing one of Glens videos saying something about getting the "scratches" all lined up the same and every time I looked at the blade thats what I was trying to be sure of.

I'll admit that the blade could probably benefit from a little more work, and as my technique improves, Im sure the blades will consistently follow suit. But it is a rather nice feeling to take a blade that was hit and miss on cutting even arm hair and working it back into something you can get through a whole shave with! I can see that learning to hone is going to lead to more money spent on razors, but its not RAD if I have to learn right?
