Thread: kasumi question

Has there been a change of the meaning of the word kasumi? Or maybe I misunderstood it from the start, but if that's not the case, kasumi refers to the appearance, polishing, the "haze" appearance, not edge keenness. An aesthetic aspect of steel, not something edge-performance related.
As for the question, the shave and how enjoyable it is, answers it; if the edge feels sharper or better, then what you are doing works.
Compare the edges by comparing the shaves.
