Today was the first of the series #2 experiments with the Shapton Pros (from 1k, all the way to 12k). Again, for more of the edge results, see HERE. OMG!!!! What a smooth edge and an amazing shave...and this was just with the 12k. I can only imagine what taking this to the 30k (which I do not have) would have done. This shave is rated as follows: (1) Sharpness: 9.5-10.0, and (2) Smoothness: 9.5. I didn't go full BBS today as I need to shave tomorrow for an important meeting with the Provost of USC. So, tomorrow's shave will be with the JNat + Atoma edge. I will not repeat the "JNat + Nagura progression" since this was already done last week.
Very interesting results Robert!
Looks like you are getting pretty close to a 10/10 shave now.
The Shaptons seem to be a pretty sweet set of hones
I'm enjoying following this experiment of yours, and would like to thank you for sharing them with all of us.

Lovely shot as well
