I'm kind of glad I wasn't the only one that immediately thought of that after reading this thread.

I've tried it before with a King-like Suehiro 1k. Didn't work but won't hurt anything.

Well, what I was thinking was a bit outside the scope of the thread. And not relative to Renaissance wax.

I was pondering taking something like shellac, known barber hone binder that likely wouldn't hamper the grit much (or honing at all) and let one of our ever thirsty Norton friends drink it up til all those pores were filled.

Of course if that backfired and the filler was too hard, it would no longer be 1k. And couldn't be reversed.
