Instruction
about stropping with hone "micro corundum":
1. The surface of the stone ought to be moistened with suds.
2. .. sorry - I'm too lazy - it's about movement of a razor while honing.
3. After this stone a razor should be stropped on canvas or leather belt.
4. For removing steel dust from the stone use suds and soft rag while cleaning.
5. Keep the surface of the stone clean and undamaged.

Thank you I looked through that thread, it seems they have the same manufacturer. The surface of mine was dinged and scratched terribly not to mention loaded, and I mean loaded to the teeth with metal. I lapped it. Then smoothed it on first the surface of a lapped hard Arkansas, and then on a black surgical Arkansas. A big ol dans whetstone co black ark. The prime ark. Enough about that.

I then proceeded to set a bevel on a chipped Hudgers Best razor I posted in a thread in the razors section. Wowie, about 10 minutes if that and I had a bevel. A nice crisp bevel. No chips, just pure bevel. The feedback on it I would say is similar to when I was honing on Mcbladescar's King 1k. It is probably finer then that and will get finer once it's broken in I assume?

Either way this makes my quest of going from dull to shave ready with only barber hones that much more attainable.
