In Praise of Lapping Film (by a newbie)

[Rugger007]

Some guys have begun to tout .1u CBN in lieu of .1u diamond saying it gives a softer more comfortable edge. I’ve been using
CBN for daily maintenance for a couple of months but haven’t made up my mind yet. If there is a difference, it is subtle but then subtle is what it is all about. I never found the diamond to be uncomfortable and never experienced weepers because of sharpness though. No doubt, you can get good comfortable shaves off film. I prefer film over synthetic stones because it doesn’t require maintenance and is much less messy and cost of course.

I have no idea how you don’t get weepers off of .1 anything. You must have rhino hide, that or I have girls skin....lol!

Hahaha! I’d tell you the same thing about me, but I’m young and full of my own bs!
