I will likely add a whole new thread for this razor so future members can search on it. But for a quick update:
Took a really long time to establish a bevel. The front 1/3 of an inch did not want to pass the sharpie test. I spent more than 45 minutes on the Chosera 1K before hanging it up for the night. Got back at it Sunday and finished the bevel. Went with the Naniwa progression 3k-5k-8k-12k. Shaved this morning and it was a good shave. Now we shall see how long the edge will last...
