It was very sharp. But couldn't cut test media and I have to stop testing at 155 BESS. When I checked edge, it was a little collapsed.
I think there is a problem with blade steel.
Sharpco, in my understanding it may be caused by so called “finishing burr” which sometimes occurs after stropping on leather saturated with submicron abrasives. It would be good to make sharpness measurements after honing on Spyderco UF, but before stropping.

Since that razor sharpening was the my first trying, you are likely to be right. But I don't know what I did wrong.
