Thread: Diagnose: Sharp but not smooth

Any advice would be welcome.

After reading the above quote I am inclined to agree with the quote below

I'm surprised finishing on a coticule has not smoothed it out.
A few firmish strokes on linen, then a few laps on your finisher again may help if there is a wire.
Any pics at 100x ??
