I never expect to have to take this shaver to a 1k again. But it was overground. Also small burrs can be created on higher grit stones. Hence one reason to strop to work harden the wire edge or burr to break off. But a lot of that is dependent on the steel and stone.

I don't see the need to drop below the Rika 5k again. All I need to do is sustain.

There is plenty steel left.
