Having to stop every 50 laps or so and having my attention taken off the stones didn't help. Maybe I should turned the phone off.


I'm still trying to figure out how I dulled it on the True Hard the first time I went to it. Maybe I didn't clean enough trash off it, because it was shaving arm hair decently after the Hard stone.

Ahhhh. That makes sense. Well, much respect for taking on an Arkansas progression! Sorry it was such a tough battle for you. Maybe next time try an easier blade UNLESS you are like me and a glutton for punishment. :-)

Well, we'll see how it goes next time. Which won't be too far off. Shave test was a failure.

I think Im just falling into the same traps/pitfalls I do with any single grit hone. I get bored. Impatient. Move on early. But it's a little worse with slower stones.

I don't know why, but I don't run into that when working with slurry.
