I don't mean this to be another thread where everybody opines about their favorite sharpening method. There are plenty of those.
Instead, it would be great to hear from those who have real-world experience with the oilstones method recommended on tools for working wood site:

- Medium India Stone
- Ultra Fine (transluscent) Arkansas Stone
- Leather Strop
- Honing Oil
Is this your preferred method and why?
Who has tried this sequence and given it up and why?
Is it effective with A2 steel?
Thanks.
