thanks - inspection - pyramid
I have read a lot about sharpening - likely I need to read more. I'm going to buy an inspection microscope so I can see exactly what the results are when I sharpen. This way I will know what a sharp razor looks like.
Also I will try the pyramid method.
Still troubled by the "over honed" description. Wouldn't the solution for this be to hone again? And then wouldn't you be honing too much again? seems circular.
Also, The TI might have been sharp but I have a very tough beard. When I tried to use it the blade gripped hairs enough to pull at them but not enough to cut.
Thanks again for the help
