    Default Reached a plateau

    Gents, I've reached a plateau, and it's a good thing. I have 3 jnats and a coti I noodle around with, typically rehoning the razor a couple of times a week. Note: I realize this is excessive, I'm skill building.

    The plateau is: I can now get virtually the same edge off of all the stones, every time.

    Now, I think, I'm ready to move to the next stage, which an edge better than my current achievement of "pretty good".

    You need more razors :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    When I get a better edge on this one, consistently, there'll be a Hart or maybe a TI on the way.

    This is actually a good thing. It really shows progress.

    Now mess with some one stone honing and throw in a few extra strokes every now and then and see if you can take your edges to the limit and then over some. You will have great fun and continue to improve.
