Thread: natural duel stone a llyn melynllyn and dragons tongue

coming off the 1k the razor should be able to pop hair above the skin level across the whole razor thats the way i ensure that the bevel is set right

Yes of course. Ok so well will all try to pick simular grind. Do you agree with each of us doing our own routine on the stones or shall we first do everything the same first then try our own later.

it would be nice to come off the 1k poping hair above skin level then go to the 4k with counted laps same with the 8k ,DT ,LM so we can determined the true or close to true grit of this glued together hone ,after that then to each his own

Ok. I usually start circles up and down the stone the x patterns. Is that what you do?

are we talking about on the 1k hone if so doesnt matter on that hone as for me on the 1k hone i do back and forth strokes and rotate x pattern in as well the same for the rest of the hone besides the finisher i do back and forth strokes

Yea usually do that on all my stones. On finisher i use a very very light touch. Circles up and down then 20 x strokes then repeat 1 to 2 time. Then repeat on every stone

Maybe we should just get the razor to the "move up" phase when finished with the 8k, then do a set number of laps on the LM.

We probably all get there differently but know when it's ready to move up

Either way i will be fine with. So we just need to agree on how we want to do it.
