I never really go below 1K. Only very serious error on the cutting edge make this necessary.
Thanks. I've been eager to get a couple of straights into shaving condition. Although they're rough, they're delivering BBS shaves... with some scraping. There's little left for a DE to remove, once I've used a straight. It's now just a case of saving up for the relevant hones.

... and some more straights. I guess RAD never leaves you.
