    Welcome mate
    The new Silver steel is the same as O1 tool steel
    Razors and knives do have different paths of sharpening to learn, so have fun

    True but theory is same. I've also sharpened single bevel which I similar in that the guide is built into the geometry.

    I've just found a whole lot less pressure is needed, I keep having to catch myself.


    Thanks guys for the welcome

    Hi and welcome to SRP!

    You should be able to get a close,comfortable shave off an 8-10k.
    Too many laps on finishing media can result in a weak edge and your edge become harsh, not great for a comfortable experience.

    Yeah I'm trying to find the sweet spot. While the .25 micron was crazy sharp. It wasn't as comfortable coming off the natural with hakka tomo.

    And that is the difference in honing knives and razors. It is not just about sharp, you have to hone for comfort.

    Which Nano grit sprays are you stropping on?

    How did you grit rate your natural stone progression?
