I've just received my lapping films. I must say I was impressed by the image of edge they put on my blades, well, until the third one. The first cut of films lasted only 2 blades after which they stopped abrading.
Also they did not stick to the several glass plates I tried. They kept moving annoyingly. I could use them by sticking them onto my Naniwa SP 10k which did a good job there.
These are the films I have. Are they the right ones? Or should I have bought something else?
On a side note, I can't report on the shave results. Because of the above problems, I only tried on 2 blades, which I took all the way to the 0.3μm. I didn't expect them to be comfortable, I just meant to see how sharp it'd go. And, man, I got the worst shave ever since my first!
