    That sticky feeling actually should be less. Think of how it feels off the 1K, then the 4K and then the 8K. Each time sticky but more refined or actually a little less sticky but still sharp. More refined yet with a polishing stone and pastes. I look for more of the resistance than the sticky, but after stropping I usually really feel this resistance big time. All that said, the test is in the shaving still.

    Have fun,

    Well I feel a little better. I will try Gary's method and just use them and trust my instincts. Honing for me is just such a love hate thing. Love doing it but hate when I get negative results. I also have sensitive skin so i haven't had the confidence to try one of my own yet. That razor burn is a B***H. I guess that i will suck it up and give a try with one I think is finished.
