Yesterday I tried using my Chinese 12K for the first time. The shave that I got after was not what I wanted. The razor has been pulling after using the 8K and the 12K. I did 120 laps on the 12K. I read how many laps people do with different grits, and on each grit I have been doing more laps than suggested. The razor cuts hair good, just not as effortlessly as I want it. It got me thinking, "Does the bevel need to be set better?" If I go back to 1K and re-set the bevel, then go through the progression of grits, will that make the difference?
If I should re-set the bevel, will a 325 diamond hone do a good job since I don't have a 1K?
