(if you were to search it out you will find several references that I have made to it)
I actually no longer use my J-nat with clear water, I always leave a slight bit of the old slurry on it and finish to damp,,, I have read of other J-nat users doing the same with Sushi Knives...
One thing I have said for a few years now is that we don't use enough pressure at the finishing stage to break down the slurry when honing Western style razors, other people are finding out there might be some substance to this.. One of the other senior members is experimenting with Corticule slurry break down and is finding basically the same outcomes.. He is working the slurry much much longer with the Slurry stone before he begins, to break down the Grit first...
I found much the same when using the Coticule as a pre- finisher for Kamisori the resulting haze finish is much nicer then what you would find when diluting out the same Coticule on a Western style razor...
Rob keep working the slurry breakdown you will find Gold if you dig deep enough...
