When I looked at it I thought that I ought to take it to the Shapton 15 and 30k to clean it up. Then I decided to give the honemiester the benefit of the doubt and shave. It was one of the smoothest slickest shaves I ever got. Gave me a new perspective.
Jimmy, so you could see scratch marks in the edge still?

Both of my honemeister blades came back with mirror polished bevels. Although it does seem like Old School mentioned that some of his finest edges were produced with Japanese naturals that left the edge looking kinda milky.
