Thread: Working With The Shaun Stone.

Another bit of grist for the mill. I tried a drop of glycerin on the stone with the plain water. It did improve the smoothness of the stroke when near the end and plain water, and did not affect the cutting view of the wash over the edge as soap would. I have also tried that.
This is a natural stone and can make as good a shaving edge as your skill can accomplish.
My take is that Double 00 had the right of it! the stone is a good one and will stay in and out of my rotations.
Have fun!

By the way, the Japanese frameback I honed has a bevel angle less than 10º and did not show any chipping after honing to perfection...nor a bending edge during the shave.
