    Thanks Steel
    I take it that the slurry breaks down to smaller and smaller grits? Thus cuts faster and finer? Can you give me your honing sequence on a new straight edge? I am open to anyone's remarks.
    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Well, the only thing I have done so far is refresh a blade that has lost it's sharpness. Around 50-75 X-strokes with clear water brings it back then I strop on pasted balsa and leather and it is passing HHT-3/4 and I'm ready to go for a while. I haven used a slurry yet.
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    never be embarassed to want to learn.

    Here is a bit of European Natural Stone, History, Geology, Use)dot(Everything: http://straightrazorpalace.com/hones...-our-site.html

    Read/skim the WHOLE enchilada, (parts 1,2,3, and 4). The focus is on Belgium, but there's a ton of "crossover" for any natural honing material.

    Quiz on Monday.
