Well finally success! I got some nice edges on my blades that gave me BBS smooth shaves until the next day. The funny thing is I got the best edge on my gold dollar that I didn't use tape on! I'm talking Lynn Abrams smooth! The problem is I tried a couple different styles of honing and I don't rmember exactly what type of strokes I used on this blade to have gotten it so darn well behaved . Again thank you everyone. Hope all is well and happy shaving.
