I've read that article before, and I still don't want to blame the hone. I'm still too new to razor honing for it to be anything but me. More likely that I'm miss using the Swaty, or moving up in the progression too soon.

It's fairly rare for me to do a shave test at the 1k stage, i don't norally do an arm hair check til 4k. Usually I move on when the loupe shows the edges have met and there are no chips on the edge.
