yeah, that's what I'm finding out. After the first day I thought I was using as light a touch as I could but now I realize the better you get the lighter touch you can put on the razor where it just floats across the hone. I just have a DMT 8EE 8k hone and a .5 micron Cr02 pasted balsa strop but can't get my razors quite sharp enough. They are at the point of shaveable but there's a lot of drag still. I have definitely set the bevel as I spent a ton of time on that stage and did the marker on the edge tests etc. I feel like I need a higher polishing stone before going to the Cr02 but my budget won't allow just yet and from what I've read many guys get good results from the combo I'm using so it's a bit frustrating after the multiple hours I've put into this............still pretty fun though
