I established a bevel to the point where it would wipe hairs off my arm wet, so I decided to eventally go up the progression--BBW/Cot then finished off on my Shapton 12k pro and then CrOx. Now, here's the problem...There's still a clear step between the very cutting edge and a little further up the "shoulder" of the bevel. What I mean is, under magnification there's a very smooth, shiny area and then, just at the cutting edge, it has a rougher look to it. I'm still going to shave test it tomorrow, but I'm afraid I might have screwed it up...
