No matter how much I try, the edge looks like it has been torn apart. Not badly, just the very edge, and the TNT feels like a very fine saw on my nail. It shaves arm hair, but not as it should, and the TPT isn't the best either.
The scratch pattern is ok, so I don't know what the problem could be. I have no problem setting the bevel with a DMT1,2k, coti w slurry, naniwa 3k, etc. I tried slurry, more pressure, less pressure, alternative strokes, but no big improvement. Maybe there is something I am doing wrong, or missing something, I hope someone can give me advice what I should try. I wil be getting a veho in the near future, but I hope I will solve my problem before it arrives. I was tempted to buy the naniwa SS 1k in my desperate moments, but everyone loves his chosera so much that the problem must be somewhere else.
