Thread: Looking for a few Naniwa users !!!!!

Honestly, I hone next to a full sink of water so I just scoop some water with the blade and go with it...
Probably like the same as one spray from a squirt bottle...

Has anyone tried this method with the shapton pro stones?

I have not Bong, I have used the Naniwa SS the Shapton GS and of course the Nortons I have used slurry on for a long time...

Thanks Glen. I'll give it a try this weekend now that I know the method. I was hoping Jimmy had tried it since I know he has them too.

Finally tried it tonight. I played hooky from work today and had the ambition to get off my lazy duff.

I had never generated slurry on a synthetic before and it was interesting. The naniwas kind of generate a bit of slurry when you're honing on them anyhow but this was more than that.

I followed the instructions and went through 1,3,5,8,10 and 12. The razor was super keen and shaved well. TBH it is not a system I will use on a regular basis, 'cause it's too much work and I'm lazy, but if a person wants to do it I would say it worked well for me. Thanks to Glen for putting the method out there.

I actually did it myself on Sunday with a Gold Dollar razor I honed for another member. This was my first time using the slurry system on the Naniwa's as well. The results were excellent. I test shaved it, and it felt like a velvet squegee...I'm sure the recepient will be pleased as well...I'm in the process of honing a an Ebay special Torrey, I did some resto on it over the weekend, and started setting the bevel, and is proving to be time consuming on this blade.... I had to set it aside, because I had to get the Gold Dollar back to it's owner, who's leaving Jacksonville for Belgium.

I know you asked for Naniwa Super Stone users for this, Glen, but I just ordered a few Choseras, and plan on giving your method a try with them on a few razors. 1k, 3k, 5k, 10k.
