Guys, I'm the founder of "Sharpening Impaired Anonymous".
The simplest mistake we all make, and especially true w/ the KME system, was not sticking with the coarsest stone until the head is SHARP!
You do NOTHING to make it sharper than it was coming off the coarsest stone. From there, you just polish what you got.
Go back to the coarse stone! Keep at it... When you feel the burr on one side...then you're at a good point. (edge?)
If it's single bevel, just run the other side enough to remove the burr...then do the same thing with the medium and then fine stones.
If it's double bevel, then you have to repeat the process on the opposite side and go for the burr.
Go back to the coarse!
btw, KME just got in some new, hot dog red stones that are the BOMB. Saw them at B'more and they are GREAT aggressive and medium stones...I think they're going to replace the two sided one that came with the BH sharpener, but not 100% sure on that... I got some. Now for new heads!
