What stone did you finish it on? Are you into synthetics or Naturals? What naturals do you like to use most? We have all kinds of opinions on what the best edge is, but we also know the best edge is what is best for you.

I just use plain old water stones,up to 10,000. Thinking about going up to 30K

Ha. Mostly joking but it's that thing where you try to learn new things and end up worse for a while. Also getting razors that were not straightforward and needed some finesse.

Now that sounds familiar to me.

Chasing that perfect edge can get spendy. I enjoy a 20k GOK as a finishing stone. But when you think about the difference it makes to the price of the stone and how much the stone gets used, its enough to make you wonder. I hear the GOK 20k is about the same as the Shapton 30k. Being from your State I thought you might be an Arkie finishing guy.

I have some Arkansas stones,just don’t use them on my razors. No particular reason, I just enjoy using the water stones.
