Yes, the 14k (1.0um) film produces a nice shaveable edge. Once you have mastered shaving with that, consider diamond pasted balsa stropping; 0.5um (50k) to 0.25um (100k) to 0.1um (200k). This will refine your edge the the molecular level. Then just finish each shave with 50 laps on a 0.1um pasted hanging balsa strop and you will never have to hone that edge again.
very interested in this.
just need my local hobby store to come out of lockdown......
thinking about an 8k soon too so with new/old junker blades I can get to know progression changes. so it would run 4/5k, 8k, 12k, 14k
