Last night's session brought some results. The toe now shaves armhair quite easily, whereas the heel and middle still won't, so I have to concentrate on honing those parts alone.
I've got another question though, is it possible that although the toe shave armhair quite well now, it still feels dull on the thumbpad test? I did that test yesterday, and quite frankly, the edge penetrates the first layer(s) of skin, but there's no sticky feeling of sharpness at all.
Since I want to have a better understanding of what happens exactly to the blade during my honing sessions, I ordered a usb microscope yesterday, which should arrive in a few days, so I'll get an idea of how the blade looks and can post you some pictures of it to get you opinion on that.
