Dear mr. Molitor;

The stria, or theeth, are best removed. I look at my edges with a 100X / 450X microscope. You know, the one for my daughters chem lab class. $10. There you can see what Marty call stria.

Most important, with one microscope [emoji436] you can see how the stria disappears as you treat your blade through the strop progression.

Now, there is people with tough skin and soft whiskers. They can shave with a butter knife. Thats fine. I am not selling anything. But if you want to try the ultimate shave, try hi grit. Getting a great shave is so much easier!

I like it for two reasons: one! I like DE and SE also and came to enjoy those super sharp edges. The second is that my skin is sensitive, and my whiskers are tough. So, shaving with a super keen edge makes the process easier (for me).

The only way to know if it is good for you is to try it!

Best regards,

Pepe Peña
