    Of course YMMV, but I have found that if my edges feel sharp but slightly harsh, I go back to the Naniwa 12k and sharpen from a light slurry to clear water, (approx 30-40 laps) and after that 30/30 linen leather and shave again, the edge is much smoother. I use a pasted strop only after the edge starts to go and stropping on leather won't bring it back.
