Especially when I got to the 3rd pass which I normally don't like to do. 2 passes ONLY is where I like to keep it but on occasion if necessary, I'll do 3 passes if more than one area didn't get cleaned up enough. I used the 8K side ONLY and you will see why in yet another blog post. I did 100 round trips followed by my usual 40/40, 20/20,10/10,5/5 seconds and clean up strokes then I did 100 more round trips to give it a little bit more of keener edge:
