ran the 2 razors i worked on for a few days on the lapping film. and gave them 30 laps on the chrome ox and my god they are sharp i went to test one on a patch of hair on my cheek that i missed ad just BARELY moved the wrong way and the blade kissed me. i think they are getting there. went from a thousand grit or so lapping film to a 1 micron lapping film to see how it would go since i was told by a buddy of mine who refurbishes and sells razors that you could do that and man its crazy comfortable for the most part. it is a little uncomfortable going across the grade on the left side of my neck but i haven't found a razor. both straight and safety that didn't shave uncomfortably there
