I would make the observation that a number of people are looking for a scalpel edge, when in fact you are not using a scalpel, you are using a razor. Consider that the 'definitive' or finest edge is not necessarily the best edge, as it becsue of its definition it is fragile and I would argue that an edge like that would need particular care, be easily damaged and a lot of time would be spent on the hone, and you would end up wearing the razor away.
