How sharp do you like it?
Just wanted to see how sharp of an edge folks around here like to shave with IE off an 8k, 12k, 16k, pastes etc. And anything they notice as they move up in grit. Really hoping some guru's will chime in and show us what they like as a superb edge.

That isn't really the way it works
Sharpness, Comfort, Grit, and Finish are not really a straight line...
Basically it depends on the razorLast edited by gssixgun; 04-17-2013 at 03:02 AM.

Huh o.O. I thought the whole reason in getting higher courseness or girt hones/pastes was to get a smoother shave? that's what I mean. Sharp no make smooth o.O???

It just isn't quite that simple
As some people say around here "Honing ain't rocket Science" well that statement cuts both ways,
(pun intended)

LOL, well... where did your pocket books guide you.
Mine ended at a 12k, yet to see if it's worth it to go higher.
Be straight with me now... none of this kung-pow moderator guru mind stuff, heh gangin up on the newb
