I’m having problems removing my burr. I go through all the stones, 1200 / 1600 ceramics, 5 & 3.5 micron strops. I can’t detect a burr, but at soon as I cut some paper…boom, burr is back. I seem to be straightening and refining the burr and not removing it. I usually wind up free hand stropping at a steep angle to remove it, but then I have just rounded the edge and lost a little sharpness (still sharp, but not wicked sharp.)
How can I remove the burr? I think I’m using more than enough strokes. Could it be a pressure issue? Alternating strokes vs “scrubbing” each side (I generally alternate)?
My latest technique is to fold a piece of paper several times and run it down the edge while still in the vise. Getting so so results.
