Can I finish and maintain with a C12K stone?
Hello fellas.
I'm really doing my best to make this straight razor thing work. I like it for the cost, the environment, and just the enjoyment of the shave.
I'm trying to keep it minimalist. Two razors, one strop, and a hone.
I've tried honing on micro abrasives, and I've got my full hollow to a shaving state....although it pulls a fair bit.
Can I finish on the 12k after a 3 micron film? I tried to finish on a .5 micron, I just think its to fine to cover the gap.
I'd rather not get into a norton 3k/8k due to cost, and i'd be willing to send my gear out to be honed to get my shave ready, if I could maintain it indefinetely with the 12k, even if it meant a quick hone every few months.
Thanks for the help.
Ryan
