If I place the thumb on the edge, I can drawi it lightly and it feels perfectly smooth, not sticky in any way. Also, I don't feel the thinness of the edge like I do with sideways movement.
You know, this smooth cutting is starting to sound like the feeling of the thumbnail test. And then the roughness is like what you feel with a wire edge or a coarse edge. My understanding was always that the thumb test is the opposite: smooth is bad and pulling is good.
