My first time honing... one good, one not so good
Greetings Gents. I tried my hand at honing for the first time on a Norton 4/8k (thanks Speedster). I have read a ton of useful info on SRP and watch a bunch of videos that were all helpful. I decided to try my first hone with Lynn's circle method (the 40 circles, 10 X strokes with pressure, the 40 circles, 10 X strokes with no pressure on the 4k side and 10 X strokes on the 8k side) I also used one piece of tape. Well my Wade & Butcher went from dull to shave ready first time and shaved excellent! Now my Cattaraugus Green Lizard... I wouldn't try to cut open a box with it! I did the circle method 4 x's over and nothing. So I've been reading a bunch more on here and I am guessing that maybe I need to get a lower grit stone and work my way up the ladder to the 8k? Is the Green Lizard a different kind of metal? Stainless? any advice for me is appreciated. Thank You
