Had a couple shaves on this 30k edge and scoped it out of curiosity. Incredibly fine chips. Took it back to 12k and 30k again and it was clean. Shaved wonderfully smooth, but they came back. Seems like I may be dealing with some questionable steel here, which isn't terribly shocking considering I had to grind some out of the barbers notch, but still a bummer. Going to take it back to bevel as soon as my new atoma 1200 lands. The previous one took a quick trip to the floor and the cutting surface isnt perfectly flat anymore. ๐Ÿ˜ซ Oh well, shit happens. I'll save it until I can cut it like @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social suggested. It was just cheaper to replace than to buy the gear to cut. ๐Ÿ˜…
