Well guys I DID IT! It now passes he arm-hair test AND shave test which was reasonably comfortable; I was trepidatious on going back to strop it—just too excited!

Here is the result a near mirror edge finish; bear in mind the I had already done the damage on the initial two attempts but the edge is now much much better and —in my view—more professional.



Special thanks to drMatt357, Razorfaust & last but not least gssixgun for arming me with all that I now know regarding proper honing technique—Glen, I learned the correct pressure and torque you were talking about, that was literally the key to my success!
