Thanks folks. 30-40 minutes (I'm slow) on each of my two straights almost on pure water (2-3 slurry stone rubs) have them much keener now. I think I was putting too much pressure on the blades before (unless I have a kitchen scale, I don't think I'll figure out what 8-12oz of finger pressure is... hmm, maybe balance a coke on a fulcum ).
I'll see what one of the blades feels like in the morning.
