Shaving with and honing a tosuke.
I was able to hone my tosuke to the point where I was able to get bbs in 3 passes tonight! The shave was very good, but I know it can get better. I cannot get the razor to pass the hanging hair test at all. I feel that honing with the equipment I have, the razor is as sharp as I will be able to get it. I use a Chinese 12k and an unidentified super smooth barber hone. I have an old antique paddle strop that works ok, but I have just ordered a pasted honey brown/latigo strop from Tony Miller. Will stropping the razor with a pasted strop make that much of a difference? If I use progressively less pressure while honing will the razor get sharper? How about using a slurry stone or nagura?
