I recently had great success using chromium o.5 and diamond 0.25 after my escher to get great edges, sharper than i have ever seen before.
I got this carbon steel blade that i succesfully sharpened with pastes in the past that was getting a tiny bit dull and brought it back to the pastes, i did 10 passes on the chromium and maybe 10 -15 in the diamond 0.25, the shave i got was very ruff....wasnt sharp-smooth anymore, it was pulling and hurting...did i messed up the edge? where this teeth came from? its not like i did 100 passes.....did i over pasted the edge? can i correct this without going back to the hone?
Your help and advice is very much apreciated, thank you so much.
Sergio.
