I agree with you, there are many ways to get an edge and I am forever a humble student. I have my first Jnat on its way to me, up to now I used synthetic and Coticule. I have high hopes to be able to produce better edges with Jnat and Nagura.

I guess it has to do with quality of edge, My edges are not the best so after Honig the Linen takes it to the level I need and the leather turns it to a smooth edge. I tried skipping leather and it was sharp but not smooth. You must be producing very good edges and can skip linen,

Booker Carbon, suposidly honed by a reputable master, turned out to be dull in comparison to the Henckels I honed myself (my first and only hone), I could feel the difference on my face and on the thumb test. did my own honing and the result was amazing, after stropping it is scary sharp...
