Gentleman,

I knew you were dedicated to finding the 'ultimate edge', but would now have to call it obsessed. Me too, until two weeks ago. Using a new level of diamond (.050) on balsa, and the same on a special microfiber pad sent with it, I obtained an edge on two out of seven razors that was too sharp. I won't bore you with the progression, as it seems many here have been to this 'too sharp' place, using various methods. But these two razors wouldn't allow a perpendicular 'scraping' in the divot in my chin, but rather, started to sink in to the skin-repeatedly! I'm not new to this, but this was a first.
Call it what you will, sharp, keen, polished, but I have obtained a surgically sharp edge..... finally!, and discovered that I don't want it.
At the same time, the other razors(various grinds) performed beautifully.
Just throwing my two cents in, though I believe this discussion has no resolution. But isn't it fun to see how many are are similarly obsessed!
