I have 2 straights that I have been working on. I have bevel set on a 1k/3k synth, then moved to 5k and 8k superstones, finishing with a 12k natural working from slurry to water, followed by 30 canvas and 60 leather strop strokes.
I can cut a hanging hair with both, but cannot get a smooth shave from either. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong or not enough of?
