Ive be experimenting and found that when on the 12k naniwa, undercutting the water, done honing, ill go to the leather strop for 30 laps, then if i go back to the 12k it takes 20 or so laps to start undercutting water again.

Is this a normal thing? Why would it happen? I would think when i went back to the hone it should undercut water right away. Acts like the strop is making edge no longer straight.

Opinions?
