Second try - Gold Dollar 208
Hi, I Decided to take another shot at the Gold Dollar 208 I had a topic about (Second Honing Ever - Gold Dollar 208). I would like to share my results right after 12k + 30 leather. My bad I forgot to take a picture before the strop... Oh well.
Norton 1k/4k/8k -> Naniwa 12k -> leather strop.
This time I included X strokes but found that they seem to omit the heel. Had to also put a tiny bit more pressure on the toe. In result the toe is slightly thinner bevel and the beginning of the heel has more scratches from the previous hones. But just a little bit that I'm not worried about as its a GD.
Here go the photos of the somewhat middle edge from both sides.
I'd appreciate your input.

I would like to add that after the 8k I cleaned the blade and did a dry test on the cheek by the ear. WTG pretty damn good. I even did ATG dry to see what's going on. BBS spot :) Not bad. Decided it's good enough for 8k and went to the naniwa 12k.
It passes the HHT with flying colors. Can cut off 1mm pieces at the end of the hair on touch.
Looking forward to what you guys think.
Thanks,
Tom
