Well It took me three tries but I sorted it out. Soaked my Norton and sat down with patience on my side. To test for rough spots I swept an old used D.E. blade across the 4K side without any sign of roughness. Lynn, you were right. Proof that my technique is to blame. Then I tried the circle method to re-establish my bevel. In the end I got a very good shave that compared to my pro honed straight. This is one of the things that I really appreciate about the straight razor shave. The feeling of accomplishment along with the resurrection of an old school skill and a damn fine shave as icing on the cake.

Thanks for helping me thru this.
