It’s a tactile thing, how you position your wrist and the pressure you apply to the blade when creating the burr. Quite satisfying when you discover it. But you’re finding the angle that is good for you, not the angle the blade may have had when you first brought it. So that angle will be slightly different for different people as their technique for finding the angle is different.
If that makes sense.
