    by the way jimmy, congrats on your 15,000th post! Also, your experience with a stubborn razor sounds just like mine, thank you-this razor issue I had here makes me wonder if I'm losing my touch or what..It has been the most stubborn to coax an edge out of

I'm just hoping I don't lap this thing down to a nub and find there's still a gritty spot..
    On all that I have had, I have taken the stone down about 1/8 inch and the grainy or gritty has been gone for the duration.
