I intend to play with convex edges at a later time with paper wheels. However, this is not a knife forum and I will continue to use my EP to get the edges that work for me.

As for the "tradition" associated with straight razors, I appreciate how men of yesteryear have shaved and understand what it entailed. A minimalist approach for the sake of shaving. In this case, for me, I want to approach it as a hobby and experiment which will take me wherever I decide to go.
