Sharpen my HR today with a leather strop :)

[POINTMANDDT]

My first time using a leather strop and I am very happy w/ the results. I tried getting a video using my HR to whittle a piece of hair. But, unfortunately the video couldn't pick it up. So, the link below is the HR going through some pretty thin paper. Is this as sharp as it gets or is there sharper Also, will this dull easier now, or will the edge be more likely to bend or fold? Should I have just left the factory edge?

You did leave the factory edge,,,,,,,, you just polished it. Which,,,,,makes it sharper. The edge is more likely to cut better. It will not fold spindle or mutilate,,,,,,,,, unless ya leave it on the railroad tracks. Relax and enjoy your superior Busse blade !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I should have said I used some ceramic stones first. 2000, 4000 and then 8000. The polish was the last thing with polishing compound. Hope the helps, thanks for the feedback too.
