Thread: Natural hone for setting the bevel?

I'll be the heathen and say I often use a BBW .... dry, if that doesn't cut fast enough I take out a very fast Coticule on slurry.

I use a BBW dry for a lot of things, but I've messed around with trouble blades I couldn't just get sharp or arm hair shaving and took them to a dry BBW for giggles, turned out it did a great job getting it sharp
although I haven't tried 'em on blades that were FAR off, the razors I used were within reasonable reach but definitely not shaving any arm hairs

I'll have to do a chip correction on the BBW to see how fast / slow it goes

I just do regular half strokes on either side of the blade



(I also use a Coticule dry for that purpose sometimes, but on slurry it's definitely much faster)
