Thread: Anybody have any ideas as to what this might be?

Here are some photos of some more trials today with slurry on water. You can see with the slurry it finishes up as a hazy mirror. I finished this test piece with figure eights. Really a neat stone, wish I knew what the heck it was. I started this test with a 2,000 Shapton Pro then went straight to the new stone with an Atoma 400 slurry. This stone has really good feel on the water/slurry, I really like it. Took about 150 laps IIRC to remove every last one of the Shapton 2,000 scratches. It goes much faster if I start out at a 5,000 or 8,000 finish. I'm a little leery of trying to finish a razor on slurry though as I've never done it before.
