Thank you again. I'm going to continue working with the 6K stone, but just ordered some lapping film to work with afterwards. I was going to hold off, but quite a few seem to swear by it. I'm not opposed to experimentation, but I often go overboard. Just looking at the lapping film lead me to looking at honing strops mounted to wood for using compounds / pastes. I also contemplated several other stones. I reeled myself in and said to myself one experiment at a time. I should know by this weekend if extra time on the 6K helps as well as how much the lapping film will aid me. I'm not giving up yet and going back to my DE. I do like the process of straight shaving better. I find it a little more relaxing, even with the higher potential to mess up.
