You may remember this shorty I got earlier from Gabrielcr78. It was OK, but felt a little bit rough on the skin, possibly because my technique still has ways to go.
I flattened my CNAT previously and burnished it with a wrench, but didn't actually use it.

Anyways... I figured "let's finally use my CNAT"

CNATs are known as slow-cutting, so I gave it 50 laps on the stone, and then 50 laps on my board strop.
The edge is much smoother when shaving, but it only is HHT1. I'm getting irritation, but that's pretty much a normal shave for me.

Is this an indication that the stone isn't fine enough? That I need more lapping and/or burnishing?
