Too much time honing!!

I had better results with my TI, but still sent it to Lynn. I'm dragging out the hones again this weekend, I'm giving the Henckles another go around. I use the TI as my benchmark, that's a fine razor now.
More lapes on the stop!!
IMO!!

Congratulations! It sure feels good to know you can maintain your own equipment. It's a fun hobby (although my wife just looks at me and shakes her head when I'm sitting there honing...)

I just won't feel complete without a finishing stone...
I may see if the pasted strops fill the void, but a part of me knows that as soon as I have more cash I'll be back on SRD snatching a 12k Naniwa.
Either that or I'll hold out for a coticule. I've been wanting one of those in a bad way.

get a magnifier first,
nothing wrong with fine stones, but unless you do your work well on the norton you're wasting your time
