Setting a bevel!!!! I get it now!!
Ive watched every video i could find and logged about 15hrs over my stones and then today i thought.....'maybe i haven't set a bevel yet.'
I was sure i set a bevel. I brought home a microscope and sure enough....no bevel. I spent way way long on the 4000 i have and finally set the bevel.
Within 10 min of getting a good bevel i was able to take hair off of my arm.
lots of fine tuning and stropping and i have no hair on my arms, chest and legs!
So no matter how many times i heard it .... Setting the bevel is very important! I get it now.
