Every single method, has produced an all together way too keen an edge.
Here is the kicker - as uncomfortable as it is, not once has my alum block ever said I have done something wrong post shave.
I don't need to make this work as I can get great/smooth shaves off my rocks. Moreover, I can get smooth touch ups with my 1 micron and CrOx... But man, you can tell that .25 stuff would give you another level of sharp if one could... only get it to be smooth.
I am at a dead end. Any ideas?? - otherwise this will be archived into the "that was interesting" pile of stuff populating a growing drawer of stuff that was interesting at one time lol!
