Your angles and technique looked good. When your about done, make really light alternating strokes. When you finish with six strokes on the same side, your creating a sizable burr. Light alternating strokes will minimize the size of the burr. Then I would suggest a strop to completely remove it and you should be screaming sharp. When I use a dmt extra fine, if it won't whittle hair after stropping off the burr, i know i did something wrong.

@@bonniegirl5138 im late to answer but a strop is a strip of leather that the knife edge is slide across. Basically it is an extra extra fine sharpener that is made out of leather. Think of the old school barbers who would pull the piece of belt looking leather strop that is fastened to the wall or whatever and rub their razors edge up and down the leather. It is most often 'impregnated' or infused with a stropping compound which is a fine gritty material that is sold in a low moisture paste like material or in a bar or stick to rub on the leather. The compound works because its abrasive material works away material very finely to work it to an extremely sharp and solid edge

You are supposed to cut the paper in a slicing motion, not hack at it.
