Spent a good part of the evening honing and stropping a vintage Puma straight. Worked up a good slurry with a Nagura stone on an 8000 grit waterstone. Took it to the linen (200 passes) then the leather (200 passes). After looking at the edge with a 10x loupe it still looks a little rough. Do you seasoned straight razor users get a mirror finish on your edges? Don't know if my expectations are too high or what. Should i go back to the linen or just keep going on the leather for a few hundred more passes? Guess i could just shave with it and see how she does. I've been curious about those that use balsa wood hones in conjunction with diamond paste and also the ultra high grit Shapton stones. Should the edge have a mirror finish? Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
