Does anyone progress from slurry to slurry without plain water in between?
as in 1k slurry, then onto 4k slurry, then on to 8k slurry?
i was wondering as i have a broken 4k slip stone that i used to use as a hone (it's about the size of a barbers hone). i've been using it as a slurry stone on other hones (i have no 4k hone at the moment)..
i'm waiting to get my chinese guangxi back, and wondered if i could successfully use my softer 1k, 4k, and 8k slip stones to raise slurries on my larger hard flat c12k and then finish with a c12k slurry, then water.
does this make sense to anyone or sound like less then desirable plan?
the slipstones were cheap, and work well (when not broken, grrrrr...) but a larger surface would be nice sometimes.
more or less honing with slurry, but without the hone, in a way, i guess.
