  • Been using my 1000/3000 whetstone and noticed that I'm managing to get knives consistently sharper than the sharpener I was using before. However they're not getting really, really sharp. I'm a total novice using it so I'm not sure if the limit on sharpness is the fineness of the stone or my ability to use the thing. Is there any need for a stone finer than 3000 or should I be able to get things properly sharp with that?

  • You can use a leather belt or denim as a strop, as has been mentioned before.

    I strop my de shaving blades on a piece of old denim, makes the shave easier and less cuts.
