What Carl said about testing at the bevel setting stage/grit level before moving on up the progression.

Yea, for sure there are other tests to see if the bevel is set. I was just wondering if the OP had done any testing at the 4K level to try and determine if a bevel was set before going on to...

Please, I am NOT talking about "tree topping" or "popping" arm hair off of a 1K or 3K Nani merely being able to easily cut arm hairs at skin level. Different things altogether.

Bob

I would not say pop, I mean easily cut a single hair using different points alone the blade. It is the only test I do and use it to see if my bevel is set when using either a 1K or 3K Nani as a bevel...

I do believe so, that is an indication that your bevel is set, I don't think yours is. I would not move up to higher grits till you can cut arm hair off of the 4K.

Bob

Was it popping arm hairs on the 4K side before going to the 8k side?
