Not yet,

I am still way new to honing and have a lot to figure out about refining my technique with what I have,

I am not ready to add to the mix yet.

LikesBBS,
I think this is the type of response you are after.

I currently stop at 12k,

I have two blades I like to hit on CrOx,

I actually like the way all of my blades shave better after a few shave/ strop sessions.

What does it do to the edge probably dulls it a bit but they seem to smooth out and get more comfortable.

Thank you...... exactly what I was looking for. And I will probobly see what you mean in the next week about liking the edge better after a few shaves/strops cause mine after the first honing/stropping cuts fantastic but feels semi-harsh, where off my 8k it was smoother (just used a 12k first time).

You may think you made a mistake,but you are mistaken. YOU can't buy your way, but you can buy it from others.

PS: We are mods because we have been around a while and remain particularly active AND we like to (try to) help others. So, yeah, mods are all over this stuff.

But left the 8 eh?

Anyone used 0.1 iron oxide?

Sixgun should send me a razor to hone... you will like it ... promise. And I won't charge a penny

warning for all who don't know glen he practices on his cats before he sends the blades back. if his cats sit still for the shave he knows he has it sharp enough lol.
