I use single bevel heads and they are really hard, so because that is all I use I bought a wet wheel sharpener from harbor freight and there is also a leather wheel on the other side. I make sure the grind angle is to my liking as it comes with a blade holder for consistency. Once sharp, I hit it on the strop wheel and they get polished and shave no problem. I feel like good stripping can be the key for shaving from just sharp. Is it necessary? I don't really know but I get excellent blood trails with little broAdheads every time now, and most the deer I shoot drop inside of 50 yds
