    Jerry I am sorta suprised that you haven't read about the 1k shaves in the past...

    You can skip all the stropping BTW and still get a shave...

    These experiments came up several years back to prove that actual shaving sharpness was attained at a much lower grit then many originally thought...

    Seems a properly set bevel is important
    People who reckon their shaves are harsh off the 12 or 16 k's should try a 1k shave.
