My razors are sharp and provide me a comfortable shave, yet I know they can be sharper.
I have a small Les Lat bout that is very fast, I use dulicot to set the bevel, and then move on to a slower coti using dulicot to finish. The best I can get is HHT 1 off the stone.
I then move to pasted strops. Chromium Oxide and Iron Oxide on Cotton, or CNB 0.25, and 0.125 on bridle leather. Finally strop on plain leather. The best I can do is 3 with the occasional 4.
Is there a suggestion to improve? I think the problem is my razor needs to be sharper coming off the cotis.
The other issue is that I do not see a big difference in using the Cr/Fe vs. the CNB. The edge feels about the same. Does that sound right?
