What is your sharpening process?

Your edges look like mirrors. Would you care to share your sharpening process with the crowd so that we all may learn?

I prefer to sharpen free hand on a silicon carbide sharpening stone. I use water as a lubricant. After I am finished on the sharpening stone I strop my knives on phone book paper. I usually get a hair shaving edge on my knives but nothing more. I really don't need anything sharper than that. Even if I did put an amazingly super sharp and polished edge on my knives it would just be ruined within one use so I don't see the point in doing it for my knives.
