    A good edge on a good razor off a 20k or a good natural is hard to pick. Both will shave close with little sensation & much comfort.
    Using one stone to compensate for the other sometimes does the trick. I've done it many a time with success. Sometimes 3-5 strokes on a dry hard Jnat can fix an edge that's causing weepers. Lighter shaving pressure can do the same tho
    With all stones it's a matter of knowing when to stop but if you're getting good shaves with no dramas I'd leave well enough alone
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
