With 280 SR shaves behind me I am thinking of trying a natural stone edge finish. So far all of my edges have been finished on diamond pasted balsa strops and maintained with 50 laps on 0.1um hanging balsa strop after each use. I have been very happy with my results so far.
Before I decide to go down this whetstone rabbit hole, I have a question for those who have extensive experience with both natural and diamond pasted finishes. Do you feel that a natural finished edge gives you a better (more comfortable and smoother) shave than an edge finished on diamond pasted balsa strops?
