yeah, it sounds like the diamond is too fast-cutting right?
I want it pretty sharp because I've kind of been getting used to the feather and that thing will cut through any hair and I feel no drag. When I went to my dovo I didn't know that the machined blades were sharper than the real straights so I was a little disappointed by all the drag I felt.
Like I said before I've got an unpasted superwide 2 sided paddle strop and I'm just trying to figure the best way to do this. Do you think it would be alright going from the 8k to the .5? This way I could go .5 and move to the super-fine .25.
