Hello everybody!

Recently, I bought a JNat (Awasedo Shobu Asagi) and honed a couple of razors on it (lots of Solingen's, some Wade & Butcher's) by going thru the whole nagura progression (Botan=>Tenjho=>Merijho=>Koma=>Tomonagura). My Tomonagura is a Nakayama Tomae.
I honed (only edge leading) until I reached a feeling that I interpreted as slurry break down.
After this, I did 70-100 strops on my hanging strop.
In accordance with Keith V. Johnsons thoughts, I only stroped on clean leather (Juchten), but not on Chrox or something similar abrasive stuff.

The level of sharpness of all blades was good, but no mind-blowing results could be observed:
Solid HHT 4, so, no big difference from a regular Naniwa hone with Chrox / Metal Polish here.
But since I don't shave with hanging hair tests, these results were more than OK for my needs.

Sadly, the last three shaves with all three JNat honed razors were quite disapointing, since they were neither smooth nor clean.
In all three cases, the razors gave me quite harsh shaves while shaving with the grain.
Honestly, the shaves were tough jobs followed by unsatisfactory results. When I applied the after shave, my face turned into a towering inferno.
Surprisingly, in all three cases, the sharpness seemed to be almot unchanged after the shaves (still something like HHT 4).
Honestly, I get much better results with Cotis, Thuringians or even Naniwa Super Stones.

To cut a long story short: Any thought's how to fix it? ;-)
