    Default first flights

    So-san suggested for prioritizing smoothness, to try some dry honing.

    Each blade at this point is shaving sharp from a c12k. After Asagi, 40 strokes canvas, 50 latigo.

    Slurry the thickness of whole milk - opaque

    Ontario 6/8 1:1 hol. Pitting on blade, including in bevel. Thick slurry, 20 circles, 20 x-strokes. No graying of slurry (maybe slow stone?) 20 more x-strokes, strop. Improvement over c12k in both sharpness and smoothness. atg strokes smooth, very good stubble reduction.

    Vom Cleff (soligen) 6/8 1:1 hollow: 35 strokes on dry stone. Very smooth, and more keen.

    Dovo inox 5/8 1:1 hol. thick slurry, 50 strokes, refresh slurry, 50 more strop. More smooth, more keen

    Jos. Allen & Sons non-xll 5/8 1:4 hol This went south. Tried same thick slurry x 25 laps, refresh, 25 more, refresh, 25 more. Super smooth, not so keen. Tried 35 water only, some keenness returned, but still not good.

    Thinner Slurry: 2% milk, somewhat transluscent.



    Will edit, append more results as they happen. Again, Thank You, Gents for your kind help. If ever I wished I could grow beard faster!!
