    I have seen that a few times but only those of us that hone professionally can get there

    I do not hone as a pro.
    And I can do an HHT and pop hairs all over the edge and still have an edge not to the level i enjoy to shave with. Ive learned over the years that HHT is a test that lets me know Im getting close.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    There are quite a few members here that hone razors and are paid for their service. Isn't that what a professional is?
    It is always my recommendation to send out a razor to a professional so you have a bench mark to compare your own efforts, maybe you should try that.
    Is the problem your new production TI razors?
