Shapton 1000 grit
Shapton 5000 grit
Shapton 12000 grit
I oroperly set the bevel with my 1000 stone like in one of Lynn's videos, then proceeded to the 5000 then the 12000 to finish. it felt sharp, but when i tried to shave it was pullung me. So i tried honing again, and still the same. What could i be doing wrong?
Any help would be great
Thanks guys
