    Default Honing question

    I have a Wostenholm IXLR. I can get it fairly sharp but it still has some pull. I'm using three layers of tape and I've tried the pyramid methods both conservative and aggressive(Norton4000/8000 and a blue Chinese stone at 12,000). I just can't get that last bit of sharpness I need to make it shave well. I also have a regular Wostenholm wedge that is the same way.

    One other piece of info. The Wostenholm is an Ebro which has one side flat and one 1/4 hollow. I can't for the life of me figure out if I need to tape on side or what to get it even.
    Any ideas?
