Hey guys, I've recently picked up an amazing razor. It's a Joe Chandle 6/8 wootz steel wedge with mammoth ivory scales, I love it! When it came to me it was a long long way from shave ready I have honed it using a 5k SS, 8k SS, 12k SS and finished with a nakayama asagi. After stripping I easily got HHT 4 and more importantly had one of the most amazing shaves!

Despite this I just feel I can still get more from ths amazing bit of steel. When I look at the bevel (just with naked eye is no loupe) there re still a lot of easily visible honing marks all over the bevel. I even went back and more than doubled the amount of laps I normally do whilst honing......still no joy. Do I need to take it back to a 1k chosera and then go again? Any help would be appreciated it's really bugging me!
