Ok, as you can see I'm a new member, so I'll try to not make this long winded. Sent my razor to Lynn himself to be set. Got it back. I'm on my 4th shave. I want my razor HHT Sharp and I have my own 4k/8k stone so to work I went. DEFEATED! I could not get it.
I'll summarize this. And I taped the spine for the honing to prevent unnecessary hone wear.

First: 100passes 8k. 100p. Linen, 100p. Leather. Razor+wet hair=nothing
Second: 100p 4k, 100p 8k. 100p linen, 100p leather. Razor+wet hair=nothing.
Third: 100p 4k, 100p 8k. 100p linen, 100p leather. Razor+wet hair=nothing

Now...I tried to cheat by turning the water on super hot and letting the hair soak that up....but that didn't work lol. Also now the razor is almost HHT Sharp in the center (I can feel it!) Now! The sides and middle are ten times sharper than they were before and even though the sides are ten times sharper than they were before.....they still aren't even close to being as Sharp as the middle. So I can already tell I have a looooot of work before its actually going to be HHT ready please give me encouraging advice so I can feel like my three hours were not wasted :/
