Sharpness of the edge?
I used to thought when you sharpen the blade the sharpest edge should be straight line. looks like this
--------------------------------
i have tried Many stones and check the edge 100x to see what is going on with the edge while i progress from 1k to endless.
Always this was the case. AT the end edge was straight line.
Recently i have gotten strange stone.
Edge doesn't come out from this stone as a straight line.
It comes out saw tooth.
in 100x i can see clear it is not straight edge. it is straight saw tooth.
Now i took Blade to shave test 3 times 3 different blades and they will shave as fine as my Jnats or escher used edge only 1 differences i could notice.
it is Cutting nose is different. it seems like winter time you walk on the snow.
Any ideas?

I want to see this! I have a couple of razors that are as smooth as ice and yet they make the "crunching snow" noise you have mentioned. Time to investigate.

Said it before and I'll say it again .... when I stopped looking at edges with 100x and started using 30x my honing got way better.

Does the razor still "crunch snow" when you hone it on a different finishing stone?
