Note: sound is poor due to the video just starting on youtube!
This video explains how to sharpen a sharp edge using only two whetstones.
The video is very long, but when you learn to sharpen properly, you can make a cutting edge so sharp that you can tear a hair in half with just these two whetstones.
It is a matter of course that you can shave hair. That is the lowest level.
