Hi Robert Just remember not all razors come out perfectly smooth for whatever reason. Sometimes you can only optimise a razor to it's best ability rather than your ability or what you're used to from a fave razor.
As an extreme example imagine trying to hone a Pakistani razor to the degree an Iwasaki razor can reach. There will be all number of degrees in between with various razors & comprise is often inevitable.
