Recently, since I've begun honing more for other members I have noticed something odd and wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this:

Stropping on leather only after a finishing stone such as an Escher has been leaving a nicer edge after honing then say linen and then leather.

I've noticed too that using little passes such as only 30 laps on leather after honing is all I need over say 60 laps.

Anyone else?
