I don't know what you mean by that, but you can't eliminate striations altogether. You can only make them finer. And I suspect there's a limit, because steel has a crystalline structure and that imposes a limit on fineness. I have no idea where it would be. Maybe someone here has some knowledge od the dimensions involved.

Joe, it depends on the steel. Some of the vanadium steels have an extremely fine crystalline structure or grain while others are quite coarse (D2 tool steel, for example).

My limit is where the razor starts shaving badly, sorry I'm a simple kinda guy.
