I have been honed and set the bevel of one of my straight razors wonderfully and after a WTG and ATG pass I have a baby smooth face. So I have attempted to hone my second razor using the same methods (1k, 4k, 8k, 12k stones with x stroke) and am struggling to get it comparably sharp. Looking under the loupe there seems to be more scratches on the bevel and it fails to give me that baby smooth skin after having shaved. What could cause such an inconsistency? For reference the one I am having trouble with a is Half Hollow 5/8 E.C Simmons Keen Kutter straight razor.
