    That's really odd. The only way So would send a soft stone for razors is if he had a dozen on the table & put the wrong one in your parcel How much slurry we talkin about pinkl ? Clouds of the stuff or a just a slight colour change of the water sitting on the razor ?

(it's a breathtaking Williams blade) It sort of adds fuel to the issue of maybe confusing increased smoothness with decreased keenness. That blade takes more forward force to initiate a stroke, but underway, no more than any other, and the result is a cleaner, closer swath cut than anything else in the drawer.
    No,no not all heavier grinds, I just meant the old Sheffields. I imagine there may be other J-Nats out there that work fine on them just not my J-Nats.

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
