It's my first time honing and I'm using a Belgium Blue whetstone. After honing I rinsed well with water and stropped on a leather hanging strop, first napped side then smooth side. The razor now pops off hairs from mid range my arm easily and it shaves okay. However, when I do the single hanging hair test it does not usually cut it cleanly but will slice the hair lengthwise. Should I be able to achieve a higher level of sharpness using the stone alone or would I need to use crox on balsa or something?
