Wowza.....you'se guys is killin me......I'm ok with the 15 to 17 degree angles and these are basically based on the razor geometry itself in any case. Please keep measuring......lol. I have used the Chromium for years off a leather flatbed hone without any of the problems discussed here. I have also used it on paper over a glass flatbed and then with the edge into it vs. the stropping stroke and again no problem. The amount of strokes being advocated is excessive in my unlearned opinion, but as always, I bow to your expertise. Randy who.............
