After trying a number of blades, I am gradually developing a theory. Specifically, that sharpness + smoothness = a constant.
In other words, the sharper a blade is, it seems to be proportionally rougher; conversely, the smoother a blade is, the duller it seems to be (to a certain point; butter knife dull is not smooth at all).
Anybody else think this? I'd like a very sharp blade, but I'd prefer the shaves to not be too rough. I can't seem to find a happy medium.
