Hey all,
got a couple of questions,
I've got two hones,
a threeline swaty and a natural combo coticule,
I'm wondering , for touching up a razor how many strokes would I do on these?
sometimes I'll use the swaty and other times I'll use the coticule.
I've been looking and seems I best use pyramid system on the combo,
and if I were to use the swaty maybe 5 strokes or something?
Just to be sure I don't overhone and get as best an edge I can get.
How much is too much or not enough? I don't know. ( I know this isn't an exact science tho)
About the natural combo, been reading quite some stuff about dry honing on the finer grit, not sure what would be best, dry or wet ;o.
Then onto stropping,
I like to use the linen side first and then onto the leather side,
but I have no idea rly how many strokes would be a good number.
Thanks for any input :)
