Thread: HHT? a question again?

A less refined edge will last longer. The absolute edge is larger than a very refined one. I did a little experiment with .1 micron lapping film. I finished a razor and did 30 laps on the film. Sharpest Ive ever felt but the edge crashed middle of second shave. I tried modern steel and couldn't get 3 shaves. 8k hone is plenty sharp, try it maybe that's what you need. I have shaved many times off the 8. I used my latigo stop for 30 laps and then 50 on bridle. Im not sure it made the difference but it shaved great. Latigo is a little rougher than bridle to smooth it out. Let us know how you made out!
