I just ordered a STR8 edge razor myself.

I have a zero edge on my SS4 and it is starting to get a secondary bevel and even has a couple little chips. It still cuts like a dream though. I left it a rough satin so when I do sharpen the whole bevel it does not take much to clean her up.
Usually only a quick hand sanding.

much better shave, I started doing it because it has less irratation which is important in avoiding pimples
takes alittle time to get the hang of it though

acne and razors don't mix.

ha!
like I know, it's be some day when I need to shave.

I will use a 15 micron finishing belt on the Bravo-1. It will begin to get a mirror like polish from the edge and fade to satin toward the top. It will still be convex, but over time a slight secondary bevel will develop unless I do it from the top all the way down. This method is very easy once you get a little practice, and it removes very little steel in the process.

You can still do a lot by hand. I have a nice 1/42 norton belt grinder and I still do a lot by hand just because it is relaxing and you are less likely to make a mistake. They are nice for big reprofiling jobs but there is nothing you can do with a grinder that you can't do by hand.

Yep.
