OTE=ncraigtrn;1339613]Before I do my longer post just wanted some feed back.

I honed my razors again with my new set up.

After my c12k my edges were damn near dull. I couldn't understand it. I was second guessing myself and my set up. So I was like well back to the 1k to start over I guess. But then a voice in my head said go strop it on felt with CrOx and then on leather. About 60 laps on CrOx and 150 on leather all my razors were passing hht.

Now I haven't been able to do that before the BH and C12K.

I went ahead and did my other two this way. I've only shaved with one of them. By was BBS afterwards.

I guess I am wondering if anyone else has had similar problems where off the stone borderline dull and after stropping super duper sharp?

Well...

- Yes, I have gone to my c12k and messed up my edge
- No, I have never proceeded with my messed up edge anyway and gone "hog wild" with a pasted strop

Interesting. But hey, if it worked and your face is happy...

With respect to the c12k (and note i don't know if this is good advice or not, so I hope others pipe up.); after lapping mine, I wasn't getting the best results either. So out of desperation, I put a touch, and I mean a touch, of cooking oil on it. It worked for me.
