Got a Wapi in the mail two days ago. Took it to my hones last night.

Since it already had a good edge on it (the bevel was much, much shorter than any of my full hollows) I started on the 4k --- then to couticule --- then on the chinese 12k for about 100 laps --- finished off with 15 laps on the chrome ox.

Test shave - one side shaves super-smooth ATG. Pretty much as close or closer than anything I've had in my short experienece ( ~ 3 months )

The other side of the blade used when I switch hands for the other side of the face --- pulls so much I had to stop ... too painful. Pulls like the devil. Could only do 1/2 my face! So today I'm feeling a little off-balance ...

I triple checked on technique, angle, even hands ( I shave ambidextrously ). But one edge of the blade was so rough and one so smooth, I am dumbfounded as to what happened on the hones. Can anybody comment on why one side and not the other is shaving well? Do Wapis need to be honed differently due to their assymmetrical grind? One side seems hollow and the other flat ...
