If it is sharp and you ENJOY the shave-
I am certainly not asking for a recipe Lt. I find your font to be a bit over the top for such a humble discussion. Can you tone that down please?

Imho this is not a thread about enjoying the shave. It can be about the shave as test. I pretty much know that with 8000 or equivalent and cromostrop I can get a clean, enjoyable shave. As you say there is not a reliable recipe. My argument is based on exploring the full capacity of the hone and learning skills to trick them into giving us their secrets. Hee hee mystical sounding
