After the 1200 it was shaving, after the 8000 it was tree topping. It also had the most uniform bevel I ever set on a razor. I smiled at it and it smiled back at me. I finished it up on my coticule no slurry, just water 100+ laps. Test shave will be Sunday on another 7 day growth of beard. I'm afraid this razor will be so smooth that I'll want to use it every shave. Special thanks to all my friends here at SRP.
