Thanks, Bruno. I agree, being that Asagi stones are so nice, it would be a shame to take a 325 grit diamond plate to it every time slurry was desired. My 1200 grit DMT worked well.

From what I gathered from So, each stone behaves differently. My Asagi needs slurry - so I bought the 1200K Atoma diamond plate that So recommended.
Slurry from start to finish works very well on my baby, for all razors and any steel type.

Jimbo:
Do you hone with wet slurry stopping prior to the slurry drying out or do you hone until you've basically got a dry stone with slurry powder?

Why not use a small Nakayama to raise a slurry?

That would also be one way to go, but I find the Atoma is useful in other ways that a Nakayama would not be - lapping my other finishers, and even putting bevels on razors. Originally Posted by Kees
