But you won't actually be able to shave with it. Simply because it will slice your skin without the slightest provocation. I believe that there is a range of sharpness of a blade wherein it is sharp enough to slice through wet hair smoothly, but not sharp enough to slice skin. That is the true balance that an edge meant for shaving must strike.
What honing method do you use to achieve the level of sharpness that you describe?
