But I have tried a transluscent Arkie w/ oil, and the edge was very pleasing, though it takes a LONG time to get it (in the 200 stroke range)
having a heck of a time straight razor shaving i've done it three times now i honed two different razors and had one come to me shaving sharp so the seller said and they all pull like crazy
contact a honemeister and get at least one razor shave ready.
