I have no clue, if anyone figures this out I would love know why also; mostly because what you did is exactly what I do, of course I don't know too much but seems like it should have worked. Wonder...

Weird, even under the scope you could not discern a difference between the two edges. Did both edges appear very flat and even and yet one of them still did not shave well?

An addendum, I wanted to say that I have read in posts, that some people believe that the pyramids work better as technique for actual "scientific" reasons. I have not been able to actually find...

Cool video, is there anything that the people in this forum don't know, or don't have a nice video to demonstrate.... Thx.

Yes the leather strop presents a whole new ball of wax/problems. I guess I'll just wait for the alien technology to bring the strops that don't leave scratches, until then I'll have to just make...

Yeah Jimmy you are probably absolutely right in looking for comfort rather than sharpness. I guess I'm also looking for the perfect compromise as well.

For me, I think maybe because I'm still...

A couple follow up questions might be: after honing, additional stroping using finer and finer grits will polish the surface at the edge, but what else happens at the same time? Why take so much...

Thanks ChrisL

I like that visualization about the accordion bellows, even if it does not jive perfect with the "quantum physics" involved; it does make a lot of sense.

If you could kind of...

My question...
