Just some questions please.
What kind of grit do you use to set the bevel through sandpaper?
Do you use one piece of marble or one for each Crox : pastes etc?
What brand are you using for blue oxide?
If you put the last edge with 0.25um balsa, have you tried to keep it refreshed with a 0.1um in balsa? You might be surprised. I kept a razor refreshed by touching it up daily in a pasted balsa with 0.1um after that razor came to me shave ready from a 0.5, 0.3um and 0.1um pasted balsa strop.
Again, I really enjoyed your setup. Basically it needs crox/diamond paste, balsa, cotton strop, 1to 5 pieces of marble plates and one (you use 2 actually) stone. You gave me a lot to think of.
